Critics Of "Time Share (Tiempo compartido) [Sub: Eng]"

Time Share proves a cinematically arresting psychological thriller that succeeds in keeping viewers on edge even if it doesn't give them much to mull over afterwards.
There is a light touch to the mise-en-scène that lends the story a jaunty feel, however off-beat the plot. I love the peculiarity of it all, even as I balk at some of the tonal inconsistencies.
The award-winning film at Sundance also gives us the chance to see a Luis Gerardo Méndez away from his comfort zone, in a role that reminds us of the talent he has and that we would like to see more on the screen. [Full Review in Spanish]
Time Share is beautifully lensed, the performances all around are excellent, and it also features amazing end credits that feel like a wonderfully twisted homage to Soundgarden's now-classic Black Hole Sun music video.
For [director Sebastián] Hoffman capitalism makes us weak, brittle beings, at the mercy of someone else's wishes. Never of our own. [Full review in Spanish]
There is much to love about Sebastián Hofmann's disquieting Time Share... But this is a puzzle that becomes increasingly complex - so much so that by the end, it leads to some befuddlement.
If Hofmann doesn't deliver a payoff quite worthy of his premise, "Time Share" remains an arresting, electric tease; edgier arthouse distributors should book themselves in.
