Review of Painless (2012) by Alan W — 14 Oct 2012
A supernatural lesson in Spanish history. Well acted and conceived - reminiscent of recent Spanish suspense films such as Pan's Labyrinth and The Orphange. This was executed with certain flair (with the use of narrative fractures which gives another layer of intrigue though the end 'twist' isnt that surprising if you ask me) and a pretty solid debut for the director.
Some minor illogical points might irritate some but on the whole the film carries itself admirably throughout. and is totally engrossing and engaging.
