Starts slow, not really impressive, but after a while it gets where it suppose to!
Fortunately for me I speak Spanish, so I was able to capture the "cultural-mood" that many times is so important, and the best part is that I didn't give up on the film! (Originally I started watching it dubbed in English, and it was "killing" the narrative)
The atmosphere goes from being irrelevant to be quite suspenseful, and the characters are extremely convincing, each one of them reflecting what all of us really are, different minds, and for better or worse unprepared for what it may be an apocalypse's real scenario, and this is why the bad reviewers couldn't grasp, a smart and well developed argument.
Two weeks ago I lost power; I found a flashlight and several candles, but no matches! And that is where I identify with Coco (Daniel Hendler), and I waited and my mood was the same as if there was light, but what if electricity has never come back? What if things go from bad to worse and I don't have a choice but going berserk on my neighbors or them on me?
The easy unpredictability of a person is one of the most important arguments of this obviously low budget movie, and regardless of that, becomes more impressive than a multimillion production; the witty, the irony, the moody the bitchness, the black humor, everything adds up to deliver without sexual or raunchy situations, and this is something that every filmmaker should consider, is about the real moviegoers, and not the airheads, and adding up a great actor such as Federico Luppi, ("Pan's Labyrinth", "Machuca", "The Devil's Backbone", "Men with Guns", "Cronos"), is a great bonus, as always no spoilers, but my opinion to those who did not like it is: watch the whole thing, or give up on good movies and stick to the Transformers franchise!
