The Motive

Director Manuel Martín Cuenca constructs a slow-burn psychological thriller, relying on a pervasive sense of unease and moral ambiguity. He explores the narcissism of the artist, for whom the world is mere raw material and people are disposable instruments for genius.

What lingers after the final frame is a profound discomfort about the ethics of creation and the human cost of ambition, leaving you to ponder the true price of a masterpiece. — MovieFinder Editorial
