Nice movie.

This movie is heavily inspired from an Indian movie named One (Nenokkadine).

An Exercise In Frustration

[redrobin62-321-207311 · 4/10 · 8 June 2021]

Sitting through 'El dia que me perdi' is equivalent to counting half the grains of sand on a beach, having a rogue wave roll over your spot, and starting the count over again. If I wasn't already bald, I'd have clumps of hair in my palms just 30 minutes into this frustrating film. I get it. The daughter suffers, or rather, lives with schizophrenia (since most people with the disease don't really struggle with it because they actually don't know they have it). Thus, the filmmaker felt it was necessary for us to view this movie from the daughter's jumbled perspective, unusual psychedelic camera views, and people suddenly appearing and disappearing from view. To their credit, maybe I was supposed to know about the schizophrenia. I didn't. I only watched it because of its high ratings. That will teach me next time to read the synopsis. Shame on me.

A movie with unexpected ending

[Misss25 · 7/10 · 22 April 2021]

People always tries to forget their cruel past. The cruel past often hunts them down. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they don't. The movie evolves a girl named Xochil who forgot her past partially. She always tries to find her long lost missing brother. She doesn't remember all the events that happened in her past but some events stills hunts her. She tried and still tries to recall the incident that are haunting her. She is looking for the answers again and again.

What really happend that day?

What happend to her parents?

How they died?

Is her brother is alive?

Spoilers, She told her father about the plan of leaving the country and settling in Spain. This leads her father to murder her mother. She is guilty for her deeds. Later,her father killed her brother and tried to kill her but failed. After that he killed himself. She is the only one person alive in her entire family.

Because of her childhood trauma and guiltiness, she suffers from schizophrenia and she got stuck in her past.

A mirror of society

I started watching the movie thinking that the plot would be similar to any family violence story. To my surprise the plot takes an impressive turn that kept me trying to decipher the puzzle that the director poses. Without spoiler I can say that the closure left me impressed and satisfied.

A great film

The sublime theme of the film has kept me glued to the couch throughout the film. Recommended. Without a doubt, a great movie for all women who suffer from a battering husband.

A must see!
