Dark Buildings (A Crack in the Wall) (2018) User Reviews

good start points

[Kirpianuscus · 25 June 2019]

A wide-ranged problems, from the crisis of middle -age man to the loneliness of an venerable client and his obsession about a young architect , from murder to the tensions in family, from purpose of life to the beginning of to be yourself. Nice performances , especially Oscar Martinez and Joaquin Furriel. And a not small problem - the coherence missing. Moral problems, a beautiful young woman without a real specific place, good intentions,the honest guy out of the circle of his apathy. The film has many start points to be great. Or remarkable. But, unfortunately, it is not. First, because it is not convincing or coherent, or enough dark. Only, melancholic. Maybe, in not the right dosis.

a subtle, convincing thriller

With excellent actors and a great director, this story takes the spectator along its tortuous path of deceit and mystery effortlessly till the very end. In a film world plagued with incomprehensible plots, unacceptable incoherence and useless pseudo-originality, this movie is a good example of good old fashioned story-telling without snobbish intellectual pretensions without ever falling into the banal or the obvious. Greatly Recommended!
