Nuestros amantes

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.

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.

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.

I admit that this movie has something typically European (or Spanish better said) and that might make it somehow more difficult for other audiences. In short I found the movie to be funny, with sometimes unexpected twists (sometimes expected, I will admit that) and starring beautiful young actors. The movie is filled in with beautiful images. I see that many critiques refer to the dialogues but in all honesty this is exactly what I found to be the strong point of the movie. The cast is very well chosen and doing a very good job as well, the actors fit their roles in a natural way and seem to enjoy themselves every single scene. I recommend it to anyone looking for an alternative to those American comedies with overrated actors, full of clichés and gross dialogues. The movie left us pleasantly surprised and some of the scenes still make us laugh a couple of days later.

I liked that this film was different from other romance movies I have seen where the characters are not only playing a game where they are not to know too much information about each other and no phone numbers etc. like in the past but the fact they are both trying to get over someone which made this different and rather fun to watch.

I did get personally distracted by the subtitles throughout and found that they were too fast at times and that I couldn't really watch the film properly as I was trying to keep up with them.

However this film was really cute and I ended up smiling a lot from it.
