Salir del ropero

My girlfriend and I had been wanting to watch this movie for some time, since we're lesbians that love representation, so we were very excited. We ended up severely disappointed.

So many plot holes. Sub-plots that made no sense, nor contributed anything. Characters that were pointless. Drama that happened out of nowhere and was resolved just as fast, without any sort of explanation.

The only thing we liked were the lesbian grandmas, who ended up being side-characters in their own movie, which ended up focusing on selfish and messy characters. Very disappointing.

And most of the cast convincing apart from the one who played Celia, a grotesque performance, way over the top.

Also the main character, a lawyer is utterly wrong for the role and her evolution as a more caring person never believable.

That and along with the son of one of the main characters who goes through a transformative evolution at the speed of a bullet.

Too much slapstick and faux snobbery and a couple of other characters (the supposedly gay grandson marries a Muslim woman?) as filler with no purpose, much shouty bits and slapstick add up to an over the top movie which should have been a whole pile better.

The dialogue races and with subtitles it's hard to follow but overall not missing much.

I'd like more movies about old women but this would never be part of my collection. 5/10

Very cute Spanish movie. No explicit Lesbianism in this movie, just a lovely comedy. Don't believe the low rates. See this great movie and make your own judgement.

A charming if imperfect comedy of manners. Performed with a little too much gusto at times, but it still came across as sincere.

Major error with the Scots storyline though. Firstly, who knows what they wearing, but they'd not make it into Scotland wearing that get up. Secondly, Scotland voted firmly against BREXIT. Scots are very anti British/English.

Couldn't do it. I had a mindset for this movie, it didn't happen, it didn't work. The concept was excellent, the exceution was not. Maybe next time? On another project?
