Storyline
This film is centered around Vero, an Argentinean bourgeois woman, and how her life slowly twists out of control after she hits something, or someone, with her car. Here comes the incident that changes everything, as Vero is driving, she is distracted by her cell phone and looks down to get to it. By the time she does this, her car hits something but the camera stays in it as we see her car shaking and rattles. Although Vero seems indifferent about the situation, it is clear that it has a toll on it as she acts different from the Vero that we saw briefly at the beginning of the film. She acts clumsy and out of place, barely saying anything, and when she does, it doesn't always make sense or has a lot of substance. This solidifies towards the end of the movie when she is going to retrace her steps to remember her memory, but in the hospital and the Hotel she stayed in, there was no record proving that she was there. This makes the audience wonder if all this really happened or if Vero, for the lack of a better word, is crazy and everything happened in your head. —Myria Davis

Fairly Average, Nothing Special
The plot sounded extremely exciting when we read it, which is why we decided to add this film to our watchlist. However, upon viewing, it just wasn't anything special. Quite average really. Maybe we were expecting a pyschological thriller more like 'The Machinist' but this was completely not that. Hardly psychological and certainly not thrilling. Worth a watch if you have nothing better to do or are running low on movies to watch.
