Verlieb dich nicht in mich

The best way I can describe this film is that it entranced me, as the images kept coming back to haunt me for a long time after I left the cinema. It's not perfect (which film is?) but the imagery and underlying message of the romance in nature, as well as in human relationships, will - despite some occasional qualms about the dialogue - enchant you too.

This film was an enjoyable experience, providing a detailed insight into two individuals as they come to terms with the demise of their relationships, and the beginning of their own. If you've seen romantic films already, the familiar tropes are present through this movie, with moments of passion and emotions given in at the anticipated moments, but the real charm of this film is in the two actors' abilities to confidently explore their characters' internal motivations, and have this played well with their counterpart. Its not the love film of the century, but its certainly one that will happily provide the distraction it was made for.

Being a cinephile and romance film lover I stumbled upon a reviewer here that said it was the best they has seen in years.

As I watched this and even with subtitles there was something very special going on! A smart funny introspective messy real human story with great characters and interesting dialog and just enough imperfection to breathe life into the whole affair. The leads have a great banter and intellectual chemistry that lets everything else evolve naturally.

Even Cristobal as the wacky best friend is not out of place here and the other villains' in the story are not so intractable that you dont have at least some sympathy.

The legend of Our Lover will grow and will rank right up with the greats over time. I already know I will visit Irene and Carlos often and be glad to be caught up in the magic each time.
