After the success of the novel Perdida and its fascinating adaptation, it was only a matter of time before another book by Gillian Flynn, an author who reformulated the way women are perceived in such a masculine genre as the thriller, would be brought to the screen.

Four years after the premiere of the film starring Rosamund Pike, HBO - now Max - added to its catalog Heridas abiertas, one of the best original productions on the platform. And also the latest work by Jean-Marc Vallée, who directed all episodes.

It is a series with only eight episodes that holds such an absorbing plot that promises to keep us glued to the screen. Furthermore, it features Amy Adams, which is a reason in itself to recommend this Emmy-nominated series.

What It's About

Tráiler | 'Heridas abiertas' (VOSE)

Heridas abiertas starts with Camille Preaker (Adams) when she returns to her hometown, Wind Gap, located in Missouri. A place she has done everything to avoid but is forced to return to as a reporter when she is assigned to write about the unsolved murder of a girl.

Here she will reunite with former classmates who have not matured yet, and she decides to approach the detective trying to find the killer. However, this return home intensifies when Camille reunites with her family, including her mother Adora (Patricia Clarkson) and her half-sister Amma (Eliza Scanlen).

The tension keeps rising, and Camille feels tormented by her past, especially by the memory of the younger sister she lost during childhood.

The Opening Credits

Among all the remarkable things in Heridas abiertas, one of them is the beginning, the opening credits and its soundtrack. In the introduction, Dance and Angela by A Place in the Sun plays, a song about a tragic love story that changes or is revamped depending on whom or what the episode is about.

This initial sequence sets the tone of the miniseries and just like with other original HBO productions such as Los Soprano or True Detective, it is unforgettable and something not to be missed lightly.

Jean-Marc Vallée's Latest Work

Lastly, it is necessary to remember what was also Jean-Marc Vallée's final project. In Heridas abiertas, we will identify his visual style and the paranoia that overwhelms us through the screen, making us feel like intruders in this story.

At times, Camille's memories invade the present, and at others, it seems like she is living in the past. This enhances the viewing experience and ensures we won't forget this story when we reach the end.
