ROCK PAPER AND SCISSORS - Review TV - Rating 09/10 - Alert Spoiler
Rock, paper and scissors is an adaptation of the play Sangre de mi sangre, written by Macarena García Lenzi and, on this occasion, the script is by the same author with the collaboration of Martín Blousson, under the direction of both.
María José (Valeria Giorcelli) and Jesús (Pablo Sigal) ignore both the doorbell and the telephone until they are full, and by means of a childish competition of “stone, paper or scissors” they decide who will take their eyes off the screen to open the door. His half sister Magdalena upstairs to the house, which seemed frozen in time, with a rather overwhelming decoration where gray and gloomy predominate.
After several years of absence, as the tape progresses we understand why. Instability and discomfort are two predominant factors in this very successful thriller.
SYNOPSIS
Magdalena (Agustina Cerviño) is clear that she owes a part of the sale of the house, but her brothers are not going to allow her to come and snatch her dwelling. Despite the eccentric behavior they show, everything indicates that they will reach an agreement to solve the problem; but when he gets ready to leave the house, a mysterious accident leaves Magdalena prostrate and forced to take care of her brothers, who sooner or later will leave at first sight that under all this eccentricity they hide something much more sinister.
It is definitely a success in the genre, which manages to keep the viewer in the expectation of an outcome as "happy" as possible. As the minutes progress, the focus is on the family problems that remained unsolved, the mental instability of the brothers and a terror that does not need monsters or ghosts to excel.
It is a staging that touches the bizarre but does not get to step on false, has a rather particular humor and constantly overlaps with the story of the Wizard of Oz, since María José is a frustrated actress, fan of the classic. Background dialogues make us enter the weather and realize what kind of movie we are watching.
Source
Outstanding work of the leading actors who knew how to shape a completely desperate environment for the viewer, but more than anything, by the directors and screenwriters since it is not an easy task to adapt a play.
Undoubtedly, it is not suitable for claustrophobes and manages to transmit in its 80 minutes a feeling of drowning and confinement that few national bands could.
It is an excellent movie to enjoy on an evening night, I recommend it for those people who like analysis and psychology movies, with a punctuation level on a scale of 09/10.
