The film is impressive: as all films that rely on great writing and acting, you are thrilled that your attention is constantly captivated. Human nature is displayed without explaining the obvious. Shots great and you are prepared for an ending you know is not going to be linear. And yet, some inconsistencies remain and are all rushed in all together at the end. Difficult to say without spoilering, but there is one story arch that leaves you puzzled despite the slightly overlong explanation provided, and combined with the rushed through shots of other resolutions it kind of defeats the explanation provided, which would have been otherwise fit just right and been perfectly satisfying. As a film that remains with you well after you've watched, it definitely deserves watching. Fantastic acting and great direction otherwise.
THE INCIDENT is, without a doubt, one of the most original, unique films spawned from Mexico in several years! It has become a cult masterpiece, not only in Mexico, but all around the world, where it has been shown in the most important film festivals. My kudos to Isaac Ezban, the writer/producer/director, since this was his first feature film, and his skills in the sci-fi genre are outstanding! It has been compared with Inception, Solaris and the work of Richard Kelly and Shane Carruth. Watch out for Ezban, he has the big weight of being the only auteur in Mexico devoted to film sci-fi in all its glory! You can say what you want about THE INCIDENT, but one things is certain: you cannot feel indifferent or detached from the story. It is powerful, mind-bending and truly emotional...
Just not quite what I'd call a " movie", less to say a masterpiece. Plain wrong from every possible angle. To begin with the acting (if you can call THAT acting), to the script, to the dialogues, to plot loopholing from minute four and a whole bunch of etceteras. What was everybody involved in this movie thinking? I demand respect to the audience whatever the movie is about, the thing is that this piece just doesn't makes sense, and once you get the so called explanation for the Moebius strip rip-off, it turns out to be the most unjustified turn of events. Definitely don't waste your time. And Mr. So-called-director-of-this: be more respectful of your audience.
The incident marks a before and an after in the modern Mexican cinema. For a long time I had to wait to see her and I finally had the opportunity to witness such a masterpiece. A story that keeps you on the edge of your seat from the beginning, and as it progresses it becomes increasingly incredible.Full of incredible performances that keep you in suspense, an incredible soundtrack that complements everything that happens on the screen. An ending that will make you feel the need to see her again. The best movie I've seen this year, and to be honest I can say it is also one of the best I've seen in my life. I can not wait to see his next film. The incident definitely becomes a movie that every science fiction fan should see.
