Ibanez uses the island's liminal fringes and barren interiors to trace his heroine's state of mental withdrawal.

Hierro is unquestionably a film of consummate craft and eerie beauty. Give Ibanez a less shopworn screenplay, and one suspects that his next feature will do more than just skilfully coast.

Ironically, despite the narrative positively drowning in water imagery, there is never any sense of flowing story.

Audience Reviews for Hierro

With a paper thin screenplay, and cheap visuals, this films is nothing but a pack of cliches and ends up being just one of those films where director desperately tries to cover the holes of the story with empty visuals and herky-jerky camera movements. This could have been more complex insight into the grieving mother's psyche, but it is all just cheap shocks and thriller cliches. It takes much more to create a good film than just beautiful scenery or brooding music. Waste of time and has definetly one of the stupidest "surprise" endings for a while. Not recommended.

Super Reviewer

While it has really intense visual style (Ibáñez started as an animator), Hierro is crushingly dull and, by the time the story starts to deliver its goods, you're already too bored to care.
