One last thing.

Don’t follow me if you’re a minor, I’ll just block.

And I also block people who repost art, be it my art or other people’s art. That’s not cool.

Upon Entry (La llegada) (2022, Spain)

Directors & Writers: Alejandro Rojas & Juan Sebastián Vásquez

Mini-review:

Wow, this left me breathless. Despite its simplicity and short length, it manages to keep you glued to the screen. In fact, its pace is intense enough to reach anxiety-inducing levels. I don't know if this sort of situation is exactly like that in real life, but it certainly made me scared of ever visiting the US. The taut script is further elevated by two fantastic performances from Alberto Ammann and Bruna Cusí, who give their all to these roles. I don't really have anything else to add, but Upon Entry is a must-watch for fans of thrillers and/or interrogation movies.

Upon Entry

Today I went to see Upon Entry (La Llegada in the original Spanish, Border Line in French) and it was A+! A couple (a Venezuelan man and a Spanish woman) plan on starting a new life in the US, but are stopped at the Newark airport and have to undergo a thorough interrogation.

It was as creepy as the trailer made it look like. I'm so glad that I live in the EU, where we can freely go from one country to another (RIP United Kingdom membership), and that I don't have to go to the US.

The movie is in a mix of Spanish and English, with some Catalan.
