Plot

A middle-class woman hits something with her car on a rural road, and slowly loses her sense of reality as she wonders what it was.

Sinekatalog’s take

Lucrecia Martel's unsettling drama follows a middle-class woman who hits something on a road and slowly loses grip. Murky, tense and sound-rich, with María Onetto superb, it is a chilling study of denial and privilege.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
