Production

Written and directed by Marina Seresesky, The Open Door is her feature film's directorial debut. The film was produced by Meridional Producciones and Chester Media Producciones alongside Stop&Play, Babilonia Films and MilCiclos, with the participation of Telemadrid.[2] Shooting took place in Madrid, specifically in a corrala in the Calle de Santa Brígida (es) from December 2014 to February 2015.[2]

Release

Prior to its theatrical release, the film screened at the Guadalajara Film Festival (FICG), the Sofia International Film Festival (SIFF) and the Transilvania International Film Festival (TIFF),[3] among others. Distributed by Pirámide Films,[4] The Open Door was theatrically released in Spain on 2 September 2016.

Reception

Reviewing for The Hollywood Reporter, Jonathan Holland deemed the film to be "an admirably abrasive by-women-for-women drama that works just fine until it starts to pull its punches later on".[5]

Pere Vall of Fotogramas gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, writing about the talented and (carefully directed) cast.[1]

Quim Casas of El Periódico de Catalunya gave the film 2 out of 5 stars, considering that, good intentions notwithstanding, it belongs to a type of cinema that is already outdated, "solidarity between people on the edge (hookers, transvestites, drug addicts) and very little else".[6]

Sergio F. Pinilla of Cinemanía gave it 3 out of 5 stars, noting an evolution from previous shorts films by Seresesky, who is right on betting on an less neutral than voyeuristic point of view.[7]
