Synopsis:

From IMDb: “On the desolated coast of Veracruz, Mexico, 17-year-old Sebastián takes over running his uncle’s small & cozy rent-by-the-hour motel. There all by himself much of the time, he meets Miranda, a regular customer who comes to the motel to meet a lover who always keeps her waiting. There together with time to kill, Sebastián and Miranda begin to get to know each other, and an ambiguous game of seduction begins between them.”

Poster: C+ / C

Review: Both of these Spanish-language designs fail to excite the sense, making them less appealing to the visually acute. The first design is a little more stylistically interesting even if it is a tad generic. The second design is far more bland, but it has some visual flourish that the first design lacks.

Trailer: C

Review: A slow, meandering narrative plays out in this trailer, purporting to explore a young, nubile relationship that flies in the face of convention. Yet, nothing in the trailer suggests that the film will be as insightful as it hopes to be.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
