Las niñas bien

The script or story is the worst. Does not make any sense. The actors are good, but the movie was a total waste of my time. Horrible!!!. I thought the movie "There Will Be Blood" was bad. But, this one was the worst!. I apologize for being this honest. I could not help it.

This Spanish drama about a wealthy socialite and her husband, whose marriage goes through a crisis, seemingly triggered by the 1982 economic crisis, has much eye candy and nice cinematography, as well as costumes and makeup, not to mention production design. There are also decent performances from the main cast, mainly Ilsa Salas, Flavio Medina and Paulina Gaitan. Arc shot is used in excess sometimes, flamenco soundtrack (mostly clapping) is used in harmony with the emotional intensity of certain scenes, in the absence of other music score. The film becomes a bit slow at times, but this is not necessarily bad, because it allows the audience to have some rest between the more dramatic moments, even though it may bore the ones who want fast-paced entertainment. There is a message about the pretentious rich, who are filled with arrogance and often look down on others with a lower income, or people who join the "rich people's club", supposedly only because of money and not because they love truly someone. But in general it's an average movie, which talks about a problem, sadly without offering any solutions, it's good, though. The closing scene is really redemptive, showing a comeuppance that's certainly insufficient but serves as a way to administer justice (and it offers comic relief, too!), even if it doesn't seem very powerful. It's recommended to the ones who would like to watch a movie to pass the time and think a little about something.

I loved this movie! The storyline, the filmography, the music... everything about it is good.... and it is also a nice feeling to finally see good Mexican movies happening in the latest years.

An understated slow burn. As tense as a horror film. Psychological. Lots of pregnant silences. You see stories about the rich destroying themselves and others. You see stories about the others getting destroyed. But what if you're in that scene, neither the predator nor the prey, effected by the results, and have no control over what's happening. This film made me feel uncomfortable and helpless. Marvelous. The costumes and sets are gorgeous too. Ilsa Salas is stunning.

Could not hear voices clearly, like as they were speaking from inside a box.

Worst soundtrack ever heard.
