Wij (2018)
Abhorrent story
The story shows in a subtle way how 7 friends were involved in a murder and trial of their 8th friend.
In the last 30 minutes we know the truth: one psychopath/sociopath teenager manipulated his 7 friends to turn them into thieves, extortionists, etc.
And then, he killed the 8th friend "by mistake". So he devised a way to blame the best client of his wealthy family.
And he get away with it.
Como una novia sin sexo (2016)
Sincere, smart, credible and undisguised movie ... with meaningless title
I loved the movie, but the French-like undetermined ending perplexed me.
As a Spanish native speaker, I was unable to understand the whole meaning of the title. There is an implicit hidden sense in the sentence. I thought the title was:
"(That is) like a sexless girlfriend".
In the movie, there is a conversation that makes all clear.
The correct senseful translation for the title is:
"(For a straight boy, his best he-friend is) like a sexless girlfriend"
High Moon (2014)
several ideas lost in an absurd sci-fi comedy
There are tons of interlaced ideas feeding the mystery, and creating a fast speed sequences of events; however, most ideas by themselves seems too childish, which brainless people could barely believe. For instance, the lunar-suits that provide self-generated-gravity and create an invisible helmet to contain the oxygen, the flower's blue mobile roots, the mechanical T-Rex, the presence of "artificial" oxygen, the ridiculous idea that one could survive in void space by holding the breath, the stand-alone hands that could walk by walls like a fly (copied from Addams Family), and so on.
The most believable element is the hidden gay Russian couple. They seem real, and their relationship fits perfectly with the events.
The abrupt ending, leaving several things unexplained, is what I hate the most.
