(Synopsis)
Started off nice and promising to our character Sofia and then everything turns to a complete disaster after a contract she makes with her boss.
Halfway into the movie you'll most likely be disappointed unless you're a keen watcher & understand the character pov in such situations.
(Spoiler) At first there's a beautiful bond between Sofia and Beatrix, like mentor and her protege (think Devil wear Prada). Then it progresses to sort of to make you think Beatrix is interested in Sofia as a lover to a possible motherly roll towards Sofia.
Such incident like the hotel room where Sofia's putting a yellow dress and Beatrix looks intrigued kinda like looking at a beauty or at a masterpiece and she comes up to her and caress her hair and ruffles it back into an updo.
Or the way Beatrix talks to Sofia into decision making, but also how she is now providing for her.
Another incident in the pool where there is a closeness between them as Sofia is swimming with Beatrix being carried by her in the pool for some exercise. You can see Sofia feels a bit of joy and love while Beatrix feels joy for the baby as she is caressing the belly while they're swimming. I felt that their relationship was blossoming, it also made me question their dynamic as it can be seen as lover or motherly role.
The choices these characters makes are irrational, if Sofia kept the baby, she would lose her job and become a kept woman which is something she doesn't want. So ultimately her "only" option is to take Beatrix offer in giving up her baby to her in order to keep her dream job after the pregnancy, however she has to keep it a secret from her boyfriend.
I don't understand the paranoia Sofia has to all the monitor and security cams.
This whole incident lead to a disaster of decisions of Beatrix enclosing Sofia tighter and tighter away from the world which was not necessary causing Sofias paranoia to worsen to even commit murder is beyond me. I can understand the emotions of soon to be mother Sofia is feeling; lonely, sad, frustrated, upset, and possibly feeling like an incubator watching Beatrix look at the ultrasound and not her as a person.
Not only that but also the baby room, like ? Why is she so shocked and or disturbed by this? You're giving Beatrix your baby so therefore a baby room.
And then have no sympathy for the loss Beatrix had for her baby Carlos.
If Beatrix had just allowed frequent # of calls for Sofia and her boyfriend, she wouldn't have been so paranoid and the boyfriend wouldn't have thought of calling the police or actually going into their work building. Like how did Beatrix not calculate this at all and think 6months no contact is "normal"?
I would say this is just a bad thriller, like trying to make devil wear Prada into "thriller".
