About This Movie

Cortafuego offers a gripping exploration of loss and desperation set against the backdrop of a raging wildfire. The tension is palpable, as the pacing deftly intertwines the frantic search for the missing daughter and the encroaching flames, creating a claustrophobic atmosphere. The performances are raw and haunting, particularly from the lead, who embodies that mix of hope and despair. The practical effects of the wildfire are unsettlingly effective, grounding the film in a real sense of danger. Themes of survival and the fragility of life resonate throughout, making it more than just a simple thriller. It's a psychological deep dive as much as it is a race against time.
