Death and the Girl is a powerful psychological work. Personally, I was really sitting in suspense throughout the film wondering if Miranda was really putting electrodes in one interesting place or if it wasn’t him. The film was shot in one room, with only three actors. It is very easy to transfer the tape to the stage and pass it off as a performance. But most plot twists are guessed, and therefore great delights can not be experienced. Politically speaking, the film is weak. The main idea of the tape is that as soon as liberals and Democrats come to power, then heaven on earth will immediately come. In fact, the director managed to prove the opposite - a prominent liberal lawyer in a real life situation looked painfully funny, and it is painfully well shown that a Russian officer is not a Chilean criminal.
As a result, the film is psychologically strong, politically weak, and absolutely ordinary from the point of view of cinema. I don’t recommend watching, but there’s nothing wrong with movies. Sigourney Weaver even shows his glands a couple of times, which is already a plus.
