Verrückt nach ihr

A new Spanish romcom on Netflix. A journalist, Adri, spent a crazy night with Carla, a random girl he met at the bar. Falling in love, he tried to get into the psychiatric home to meet her.

What I loved about the movie was the interaction between Adri and the people he spent in the psychiatric home. The scenes were really sweet, especially the one where he tried to hook up a girl with Tourette's with her crush. This was also where most of the comedy was used. Most of them landed and either made me chuckled or straight up laughing.

Not only the movie was funny, it also had some unexpectedly emotional scenes, especially the one with Adri's roommate in the home. The roommate was an old man with paranoia, and his story was quite sad, but at the end it was heartwarming.

For the romance, the two actors for Adri and Carla had good chemistry, although I wanted a bit more scenes with them together to strengthen the relationship further. Because of this, I wasn't too convinced about how their scene at the end.

The unique element of the movie was combining romcom with mental illness. I felt that the movie did a decent job bringing awareness to certain conditions as well as mental illness as a whole.

The problem with the movie, in addition to the romance, was that it's still a cheesy romcom throughout, and there wasn't any surprises. However, this might not be a problem to many, like me.

Overall, a funny and quite emotional romance with a unique premise. 8/10

This is the first film I've ever watched that didn't have a wrong take on mental health. I think it's a very sensitive topic and it deserves the respect it's shown by the portrayal of each character, both on how they're written and performed. I honestly think everyone should watch films like this one, maybe they'd be more sensitive to people who deal with these issues IRL. Brilliant.

Sure, it's no Saving Private Ryan or One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest but it isn't trying to be.

What it is is a solid romcom that does an effective job of exploring mental health issues and the difficulties of relationships involving people suffering from them. As others have said, you either get it or you don't. Anyone who has struggled with their mental health or has close family or friends who do will 100% "get it"

Good love story on Netflix, greatly directed. Actors are talented too.

When i saw the trailer i thought that the movie was a comedy! It was more than that! Very good plot and all the characters are well played! One more good Spanish production as we have become accustomed to recently
