Reviews

The film "The Consequences" received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 5.1/10, indicating a divided reception. Critics from outlets such as Rotten Tomatoes noted the film's compelling intentions and Juana Acosta's strong central performance but found the pacing and narrative cohesion somewhat lacking.

Metacritic does not list a rating, suggesting limited widespread critical coverage. Audience feedback often highlighted appreciation for the film's cultural context and emotional themes while mentioning that the movie's slow pace and subtle storytelling may not appeal to viewers looking for more conventional dramatic arcs.
