La promesa: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

La promesa thinks "scary" means turning the lights off and slamming a kitchen drawer.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in La promesa?
Honestly, La promesa would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Unpopular opinion: La promesa is the most overrated film of the decade
Everyone praising the La promesa performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Hot Take: La promesa's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Look, I wanted to love La promesa. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in La promesa?
Just got out of La promesa and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
