  Review by Jack_Milling ★★½ 1

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Cosmic forces: Ok Vera, time travel is a very tricky and fragile thing, so do you want to live in the timeline where you have a daughter, or live in the timeline where you have a hot boyfriend?

  Vera: Both.

  Cosmic forces: ....That's not how time travel wor-

  Vera: B O T H

  Not a bad film but it unfortunately falls prey to the Hollywood Formula of Storytelling, meaning that the twist is so predictable you call it 30 mins into the movie and be sitting there for the remaining hour and a half thinking about how you could be rewatching season 1 of the OA right now, but you're half way through your popcorn and coke so you may…

  Review by Tallyson ★★★★★ 3

  Oriol Paulo e seus plot twists que não só ganham atenção por conta da estrutura instigante do roteiro, mas também pelas fortes emoções e motivações dos personagens. É realmente muito raro, extremamente raro, até mesmo raro, para uma viagem no tempo ou um filme de várias camadas ser tão bem amarrado quanto Mirage é no final. Quero dizer, tudo se encaixou perfeitamente (pra quem se interessar, vou deixar a minha análise sobre o que entendi nas respostas).

  Mais um filmaço de Oriol Paulo. Vida longa não só a ele como também ao cinema espanhol.

  Oriol Paulo knows how to do plot twists, and I'm adding Mirage to my list of underrated movies I like to recommend watching on Netflix. His previous film, The Invisible Guest is already on that list ))

  Mirage is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys movies that deal with the Butterfly Effect as well as crime thrillers - this movie has both of those elements, and it juggles them impressively well. It's not as "twisty" as The Invisible Guest, but believe me, there is plenty going on to keep you at the edge of your seat, and plenty of surprises in store. It's not perfectly air-tight (movies that have to do with time travel rarely are), but it's close enough,…

  Review by Cracksky ★★½

  Oriol Paulo's newest is a big disappointment, if you're expecting an unpredictable story with great twists (like the awesome "The Invisible Guest"), don't waste your time, this is just a generic butterfly effect movie.

  The worst thing about this film is the script, which in theory should be the strong point of the movie. The first half hour has so much exposition that you can already guess everything that will happen/be used after the butterfly effect. It's the kind of movie in which the protagonist will take too long to accept that the butterfly effect happened, in this case here the protagonist annoyingly takes about half an hour to realize that "well, I've changed something in the past and it…

  Close Encounters of the Feb Kind

  World Tour 2020

  Cheeky old Netflix went and snuck out a timeloopy / alternate timelines sci-fi thingy and didn't tell me about it. But I *always* find out about them in the end.

  Looking at some reviews here on Letterboxd, it seems only the Spanish speaking world have watched this so far, so clearly I'm not the only one who hadn't been informed about Mirage. Yet again, it's another case of Netflix really being quite poor in managing its originals, whether I think this deserved a wider audience or not.

  I do, as it happens. As I've mentioned before, there is always a disclaimer with me that I can't resist films like this but…

  I had no anticipation for this film or any clue what the plot was about. It’s always a cool feeling going into a movie with that mentality because it’s rare today. Mirage gave me a lot to chew on and honestly, I’m still trying to process and digest. It’s been a crazy weekend for trippy content. With this, Us and Part II of the OA; I’m going to need therapy on Monday. The story centers around two individuals, separated by 25 years, who begin to communicate with each other. One’s story changes the timeline and the other has her life completely altered because of it. It’s an interesting exploration to discover…

  Review by Angelo Cordeiro ★★★★

  Geralmente, suspenses de estilo hitchcockiano não são de fácil aceitação pelo público de hoje em dia, onde a ingenuidade não tem mais espaço frente à malícia de um público que não se impressiona tão facilmente. Muitos irão dizer para Durante a Tormenta: "Ah, mas isso era previsível desde o começo!" ou "Nossa, a reviravolta no final é forçada".

  Oriol Paulo tem um grande cuidado em desenvolver uma história repleta de pistas, falsas ou não, reviravoltas, personagens intrigantes, finais reveladores e diálogos bem construídos, dando a seus filmes um aspecto de passatempo que, ao final, você sabe que investiu boas horas para ser entretido.

  Em Durante a Tormenta, Paulo brinca com viagens no tempo e realidades paralelas. Em tempos de Vingadores…

  Review by 12drue 🎞️ ★★★ 6

  ⏰LB Community Zeitreise – 17.-19.02.2023⏰ unter der Leitung vom Zeitkapitän Maddin809

  Vera entdeckt in ihren Haus eine alte Videokamera und einen Fernseher, mit dem sie Kontakt zu einem Jungen aufnehmen kann, der vor 25 Jahren gestorben ist. Sie schafft es, ihn zu warnen und damit sein Leben zu retten. Dummerweise erkennt sie am nächsten Morgen aber ihr eigenes Leben nicht wieder.
  Parallelwelten, so der deutsche Titel dieses spanischen Mystery-Dramas, spielt gut mit dem Schmetterlingseffekt und hat mit Adriana Urgate eine charismatische Hauptdarstellerin, die die zunehmende Verzweiflung gut herüberbringen kann und der man gerne, die Daumen dafür drückt, dass sie alles wieder hinbiegen kann. Der Film ist über weite Strecken durchaus spannend, wird gegen Ende dann aber doch ein bisschen kitschig, was mir den Gesamtgenuss leider etwas verdorben hat.

  Review by Lacontreras ★★★

  Good movie but it could have been shorter and less predictable.
