The director shows an acceptable management of tension, the story is well diversified, but much of what is told exceeds the credible and goes into the unheard of. [Full Review in Spanish]

One of those who's the hero, who's the villain movies. It's more like real life, everyone's a bit of both. A man's just trying to protect his family after an unfortunate accident, a confused and bitter young girl's mind is fixed on vengeance. The movie comes across with some pretty damn realistic situations. And Kudos for Ester Expósito (Sylvia) in creating the most annoying teenage girl we've seen in a long time.

An exhausted guy and his worst night ever plus a teenager girl who's selfish enough to not identified when her friend was dead.

Boring to the point of exhaustion, this Spanish slow-burn never reaches a concrete point but benefits from valid performances by its leads.

This is Netflix original "when angels sleep" and it is one of the worst movies ive ever seen. Even my wife got up half way and said it was stupid and turned it off.
