CGiii Comment
There is nothing quite like being lulled into a false sense of happiness...
Mañas shows considerable control...punctuating the film with inappropriate scenes and dialogue...you just know something is wrong.
However, he does let go of the reigns by the end...and, the film suffers as a result...which is a great shame.
Just one scene ruined the whole thing - when you see it, you'll know instantly what scene it is...a very strange decision was made when it made it into the final edit.
