- labeling this movie as a horror/thriller film is incredibly misleading. There are tense moments and a few good jolts, but it's not written as a thriller. It's more of a supernatural tale of loss (and a well executed one at that).
- Belen Rueda gives a very good performance.
- J.A. Bayona's direction is remarkably elegant and restrained, and complimented by the lovely cinematography.
- it's a shame Picturehouse didn't market it more; it could have done decently at the box office.
