La actriz Zoë Kravitz debuta como directora con Blink Twice. También coescribió el guión con E.T. Feigenbaum (serie de televisión “High Fidelity”). Para estos dos cineastas que no cuentan con una extensa lista de créditos como guionistas y directores, esta película no lo refleja. Este thriller psicológico/comedia negra es uno de los que se recomienda… Continue reading Crítica de la película: Blink Twice: unas vacaciones perfectas no siempre son tan perfectas
