My quick rating - 4.9/10. This film explores the dark but rather eerie aspect that involves two adopted brothers, Tin and Tina, who look rather strangely dark and are raised in an ultra-Catholic manner, making them literally interpret the Holy Bible. Though the film was indeed very engrossing because of its unique storyline and dark environment, it can, however, be deficient in a number of key areas, ultimately giving the viewer a rather mixed bag. First, the fact that the film excels at conveying an eerie environment throughout the film. This comes about because of the albino look that Tin and Tina exude. This serves as the main environment that the film conveys, attempting to capture a rather eerie environment throughout. This serves as the key manner at which the film keeps the audience engrossed because it gradually moves on, resulting in a rather tense environment. However, where the film fails comes about because of the manner in which it portrays the parental choices made by Lola (Milena Smit) and Adolfo (Jaime Lorente). Though the film tends to focus on the rather questionable choices, it tends to go into the unrealistic zone. This comes about because the choices made by the parents tend to be rather stupid, frustrating, and simply do not tend to follow the manner at which the human mind works. Taking all these stupid, frustrating, and simply nonsensical environments that the film takes into account, the film later moves into the zone of what literally seems to be having the viewer laugh at a point where the viewer simply shouldn’t. Despite all these, I simply think that the film was successful at conveying a simply eerie environment as well as simply having the viewer go through rather eerie environments that literally made the viewer shiver. That said, the kids portrayed as Tin and Tina were indeed commendable because they literally tend to exude a simply eerie environment. Without all this rather eerie environment, it literally fails at doing something as simple as entertaining. I simply think that it indeed has key elements that will be available to rather keen and interested onlookers but falls flat at the end as a rather simple film.
Currently streaming on Netflix if you are interested.
