In Medias Res

About This Movie

In Medias Res is a compelling exploration of reality and illusion, wrapped in a tight mystery thriller package. The film opens with a brewing conflict over the phone, setting a tense atmosphere that lingers throughout. Sebastián González Sierra crafts a narrative that feels both intimate and unnerving, with a pace that keeps you guessing. The performances are raw and authentic, particularly the leads who navigate their emotional turmoil with impressive nuance. What stands out here are the practical effects—nothing flashy, but they add a grounding to the surreal situations. Themes of perception and truth play heavily, making you question how much of our lives is staged. There’s a distinct low-fi aesthetic that complements the story, almost as if you're piecing together a reality through a fragmented lens.
