    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The location for the stairs was a real building located near the area of Churubusco in Mexico City. It was only 30% occupied at the time of the shooting, which is why they allowed the film to be shot on their emergency stairs. Most of the neighbors never even realized a film was shot at their emergency stairs, as they always took the elevator, but the crew used to laugh at how funny it would be if eventually a certain neighbor would want to take the stairs because the elevator was too slow or something like that, and find out an entire crew of 30 persons working there, drawings on the wall and a lot of crazy stuff. Eventually, it did happen, but the people who came in and found everything were not mad. They were, in fact, extremely surprised and happy, taking pictures of everything, as if they were entering a museum, and begging production designer Adelle Achar to never remove any of the art from their stairs.

    Rushed ending but impressive work
    The film is impressive: as all films that rely on great writing and acting, you are thrilled that your attention is constantly captivated. Human nature is displayed without explaining the obvious. Shots great and you are prepared for an ending you know is not going to be linear. And yet, some inconsistencies remain and are all rushed in all together at the end. Difficult to say without spoilering, but there is one story arch that leaves you puzzled despite the slightly overlong explanation provided, and combined with the rushed through shots of other resolutions it kind of defeats the explanation provided, which would have been otherwise fit just right and been perfectly satisfying. As a film that remains with you well after you've watched, it definitely deserves watching. Fantastic acting and great direction otherwise.
