The Secret Of Dr. Grinberg 2020 ‘El Secreto del Dr. Grinberg’ Directed by Ida Cuellar
In the early nineties, Dr. Jacobo Grinberg’s career was blooming and he gained lots of international credit as a researcher in the fields of telepathy and neurophysiology at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico. When Dr. Grinberg mysteriously disappears in 1994, the police find no trace of him. The only thing that is clear, is that all his research material, including his computers, disappeared along with him.

The Secret of Dr Grinberg is incredibly weird. So weird to the point that it feels like more of an X-files episode or an urban legend then a documentary. Even the title sounds more like a shlocky b-movie rather then an investigation into an incredibly perplexing story. The doc is covers the story of Dr Grinberg, an eccentric professor who was conducting research into telepathy and neurophysiology. Dr Grinberg and all his research disappear one day with literally no trace or explanation; basically vanishing into thin air. This is where the documentary picks up with several of his colleagues and family members suggesting theories on what happened with some incredible turns and revelations on the initial…
The best Mexican Documentary Thriller since Yulene Olaizola's "Shakespeare and Victor Hugo's Intimacies" and the best X-Files movie ever. It gets weirder and weirder and even weider. I was never sure if everything was a hoax but: I Want To Believe.
On a side note: Did you know Dr. Grinberg is the brother of actor Ari Telch? I sure didn't and do not worry about spoilers, this is never mentioned in the film and Telch doesn't even appear. But it works as proof that this tale is a constant WTF even after you finish watching.
The truth is out there!
Unsurprisingly, Grinberg’s disappearance is the most interesting aspect of the story, with sources of contention ranging from small-scale personal disputes to larger notions of government cover-ups and meddlings from a higher power. This is very much an expository account of events, attempting to cover a wide variety of angles rather than honing in on specific theories, occasionally to the detriment of providing a sizeable body of evidence.

Being honest with you, this is my first contact with Jacobo Grinberg's story and achievements. Jacobo Grinberg-Zylberbaum was a Mexican neurophysiologist and psychologist. He studied Mexican shamanism, Eastern disciplines, meditation, astrology and telepathy through the scientific method. It seems that he was well known worldwide in the psychology-scientific community.
Since December 8, 1994, Jacobo Grinberg has been missing. On December 12, his family prepared a party for him to celebrate his 48th birthday, but he did not show up. It was common for him to make spontaneous travels or just not to answer his phone for days, which is why his disappearance did not seem odd to his family in the beginning. Today there are many conspiracies surrounding Jacobo Grinberg's disappearance.
A fascinating thriller story, a part of Mexico history that I didn’t know, an unsolved mystery of a man who believed in things from beyond.
El Secreto del Dr. Grinberg es un excelente documental de parte del novel cineasta Cuellar. La forma en que nos narra los eventos logra desde los primeros minutos meternos al mood del thriller y contarnos detalles de las investigaciones metafísicas del Dr. sin perder la esencia del misterio sin resolver.
A brooding and cinematic documentary that revels in its own mystery.

Wow. This is like a marvelous amalgam of The X-Files, Unsolved Mysteries and a perfectly-crafted and spellbinding documentary.

What an amazing knowledge to know. His experiments and the things he has discovered about the limitless of the mind power over reality we perceive. Everyone should watch this!!!
¿Me estás jodiendo?
Que locura, y hay gente aún dudando de lo que el sistema puede hacer, de las dimensiones, de la magia ... cada vez estoy más convencida de que vivimos en la matrix

FESTIVAL DE CINE DE MÁLAGA
La interesante premisa de la conspiración alrededor de una peculiar figura mexicana sirve de hilo perfecto para el thriller documental que nos presenta Ida, en el que se va guardando cuidadosamente la información hasta el momento propio de mostrarla para que sea el espectador el que vaya creando sus propias hipótesis tal y como ocurrieron cronológicamente, así como si fuera una investigación guiada por el director que hace el propio público. No solo destaca por su fotografía y montaje de sus entrevistas, o por sus grafismos y el evocador e interesante uso de citas y audios oníricos de obras del propio doctor, sino que también se caracteriza por no solo haber recogido la información existente,…
