I think this movie is not only great, but important. The photography is beautiful, the music and the acting are great, but the script is a masterpiece (though i can understand how it is hard to see).
I think many people are wrong by viewing this as a dark-comedy, it is no comedy at all. It is a psychological thriller that criticizes transnational corporations and how the ideology they sell harms everybody involved. From the consumer who loses everything due to the lack of interest from the company, to the couple of workers that turn on each other because of it, an enterprise that sees them as numbers (in the case of Andrés) or pawns (in the case of Gloria): sheep turned into wool; sheep turned into pseudo-wolves.
This is the first review I write in here, and I do it because I loved the movie and feel like some other people got it a bit wrong. Hope you enjoy the movie.
Pd. This type of scams that take advantage of people's ignorance, like time shares and pyramid schemes, are a big issue here in Latin America, and have become more common in recent times due to the intervention of world wide corporations on the local economy.
