Barely surviving its absurd length, this movie feels like a ton of genres mixed into a clever idea that suffers but works.

What are critics saying?
Oriol Paulo succeeds in the emotional aspect, but slips in the thriller.
Oriol Paulo composes a commercial thriller of intrigue, of Hitchcockian airs, but that for his plot drinks of films of the contemporary cinema.
The Hollywood Reporter by Jonathan Holland
Mirage has a great deal of satisfying complexity but little depth, and its dazzling, intricate machinery is always visible. But it still makes for a fun ride on a highly calibrated roller coaster.
A highly emotional drama, and Ugarte's performance more than delivers.
Beyond the exquisite labyrinth of lost looks, we can always be attentive Adriana Ugarte's work, who is always at the edge.
