I ought to have my head examined for watching this

(2008) The Headless Woman/ La mujer sin cabeza (In Spanish with English subtitles) PSYCHOLOGICAL CRIME DRAMA

Co-produced, written and directed by Lucrecia Martel, an extremely slow experience which all could've been said 30 minutes earlier, centers on some impoverished kids playing at an open outfield on a very hot day. The next scene shows a middle aged woman deciding to go home, she then hears a big thud when trying to get something while driving. And upon finally coming home, she neither can recall whether or not she really hit or killed someone, and her conscience slowly starts to take control of her. I have no idea what to make about this film since a boy was hit, but it's like no one reports about it until many days later, and then soon finding out that it may not be her that had run him over, meaning that the overall effect of the movie is so shallow, whereas, I as a viewers, would rather want to know about the boy in question than the lady who may have or may not have anything to do with it.
