It’s all more involving than it is frustrating. That’s thanks in large part to the nuanced performances of the leads, whose work ensures that at least the first half of the term “psychological thriller” feels well-realized here.

His secret is dangerously close to being revealed with the arrival of Gabriel, a charismatic young nurse hiding something much more sinister.

The Film Stage by Jared Mobarak
It’s using a taboo topic to compare/contrast how those existing within it can be angel and/or demon. It’s not, however, trying to comment on that topic, so don’t expect a message movie. This is a genre film utilizing its subject matter as a springboard towards drama.
The New York Times by Lena Wilson
La Dosis harms itself by refusing lucidity. What should be a razor’s edge rivalry plays more like a hamstrung thriller.
A dark movie, but also a funny one.
