The film debuted on 7,000 screens in China on Sep 15, 2017, eight months after its release in Spain. It eventually grossed over CN¥172.4 million (€26 million), becoming the most successful Spanish film ever in China.

    Just had a very brief look. Yeah that looks great. Hey I literally just watched "The Invisible Guest" which as it turns out I had seen before. Still damn good and I had mainly forgotten it. I bloody watched "Under the Silver Lake" yesterday and had already seen that years ago. Damn I had forgotten but recalled a fair bit but I wish I hadn't watched it again.

    @tiredratman.bsky.social my favourite movie of all time is Disneys “Dinosaur” from 2000. A phenomenal close second is the Spanish thriller “The Invisible Guest” 😍

    "The Invisible Guest" is basically a 2-hour masterclass in getting played. You spend the whole movie trying to figure out who's lying, and then the ending absolutely breaks you. Looking back, the clues were right there, but I still got completely blindsided. A total masterpiece.

    Contratiempo (The Invisible Guest), a Spanish drama that will keep your head spinning for a longer time than the film lasts.

    Definitely an interesting movie that tries to be a bit too clever. 7/10

    10/10 It's one of the best mystery movies I've ever had the privilege to see. I didn't have high hopes for it at first even though the ratings were pretty high, as ratings nowadays are very untrustworthy, they are either over-rated or else under-rated mostly, only a few sum of ratings are justifiable. This deserves it's good ratings. If you are someone who is looking for a movie that is in the same league as masterpieces like Shutter Island then I'll definitely recommend this masterpiece.

    This film strikes me as a sort of morality tale, though it disguises it well throughout. Overall I found the plot and the various developments intriguing and well written. There are several twists in the story, as you would expect in a thriller. Some worked better than others. I found the movie to be entertaining and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys being kept on edge and who can suspend their disbelief adequately. I say that last bit because I actually found the final twist to be…

    I was entertained, it was great fun, but very very far-fetched crime movie. Espanolos crazylos :-)
