Undeniably, Lorcan Finnegan's "Nocebo" is a thriller that has a shocking revelation at the end. Both Eva Green (as a fashion designer) and Chai Fonacier (as her Filipino caretaker) put on great performances.
But beyond that, the director noted that Ireland and the Philippines share a history of colonization and exploitation.* While they ended up quite different, it still makes sense that an Irishman would sympathize with an oppressed people.
Anyway, it's a good look at the state of the world. You may feel uncomfortable about the objects in your house after watching it.
*A tragic irony is that in filming "Apocalypse Now" - which was all about colonialism - in the Philippines, Francis Ford Coppola created colonialism.
