Review of Nocebo (2022) by Jluis_001 — 02 Mar 2023

The appeal of its plot cannot be denied. The sense of uneasiness plays a very important role in the atmosphere of discomfort that prevails throughout most of the film and is one of the main elements that draws you into the story.

I do think that the social commentary and the message get lost a bit by the decision to go for a more suspenseful route, focusing on keeping Eva Green's character in a constant state of confusion long before the plot begins to reveal its cards, so you can't help but feel that the main point of the story is slightly weak, especially because the plot fails to make you feel either empathy or contempt for the two characters around whom everything revolves, because the revenge is undoubtedly collected, but it is a revenge that left me with a feeling of emptiness.
