Fresnadillo has something serious to say about the ways in which extravagant chance can distort our perspective and throw us off the path of good sense.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The casting of von Sydow ... is itself Intacto's luckiest stroke.
Nothing if not hip, but its questions are more coffee-shop hypothetical than genuinely profound.
I admired Intacto more than I liked it, for its ingenious construction and the way it keeps a certain chilly distance between its story and the dangers of popular entertainment.
A clever, original thriller that bows to no genre.
