About This Movie

The Saint (2023) unfolds slowly, almost languidly, immersing you in Rubén's world of unconventional healing. It's this bizarre mix of reverence and horror that really sets the tone. You see him, a genuine healer, but then Benjamín shows up and everything shifts. The dynamic of fame and its pitfalls is explored with a heavy hand, making you feel the weight of Rubén's newfound popularity. The atmosphere is thick with an unsettling tension, almost palpable. The performances, particularly that of the lead, have this raw edge to them, drawing you into the complex themes of identity and consequence. The practical effects used in the healing scenes—disturbing but oddly fascinating—add another layer to the film’s distinctive vibe. It's not what you’d expect.
