Movie reviews

Synopsis

This striking debut feature from young Barcelona-born director Jaime Rosales methodically gets under your skin while managing to avoid standard manipulative tricks. Abel (Alex Brendemuhl) runs a family clothing store, has a girlfriend with whom he may buy an apartment and enjoys a reasonably civil relationship with his mother. He appears to be a perfectly ordinary young man. But behind that mask something else is going on, a capacity for unmotivated, unpredictable violence that transforms Abel into a creature impossible to understand, even as he appears to be a model of normality.
