This movie is borderline harrowing honesty, and borderline fun exploitation, and i like the thin line it walks on. And even with high heels. It also borders between psychological accuracy and pure cliche, but I found the cinematic represantation of unabashed irresponsibility refreshing.

An interesting independent vision of a NYC immigrant's touch-and-go life, which then genre-bends itself unexpectedly into a tense horror-film finale. Some of the in-between parts are a little stilted, but a strong beginning and ice-cream ending wrap up a neat, tight, effective little film that its creator and star must be proud of.

What an amazing film. It shows 2 very different sides to life that interconnect, both bleak in their own way. I also loved the way it's shot. The insane buildup and the tension it's able to maintain for such a long period of time is astounding, too.

I could have loved this movie if it were not for the insanely ridiculous game that the entire premise is built upon. Ana Asensio is a very talented and beautiful woman, but a terrible writer. If you could subtract all the stupid game nonsense, you might have something worth watching.

Intriguing slice-of-life drama has an abrupt about-face into squirmy horror in its final third resulting in a somewhat bumpy, but not uninteresting, end result. Feels like a short film padded to (barely) feature length at times, but it's hard to deny Asensio commands the screen from both sides of the camera, and handles the final twist with a terrific combination of discomforting claustrophobia and gallows humour. Not entirely successful but definitely memorable.

One of the best thrillers I've ever seen. I was literally (not figuratively) on the edge of my seat for the entire final act.
