Diagonales

About This Movie

Diagonales has this gritty, atmospheric vibe that pulls you in right away. It’s a short film, but it packs a lot into its runtime. Milena Smit and Román Reyes give performances that are both subtle and intense, really anchoring the emotional weight of the story. The pacing feels deliberate, almost like it’s teasing out the mystery rather than throwing everything at you at once. The themes of trust and betrayal simmer beneath the surface, and there’s a rawness to the practical effects that lends authenticity to the crime elements. It’s distinctive in how it explores these darker aspects of human nature without ever feeling gratuitous.
