Nuestros amantes

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.

Lovable characters, smart script and nice cinematography ... yes, somehow ordinary script, but over all, a nice flick for a relaxing evening. I highly recommend this to the common north american viewer who thinks that life and chasing chicks is all done via drugs, alcohol and obnoxious behavior at both personal and family levels ... enjoy

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.

If a movie can keep you Involved for hundred or so minutes what else you need

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.
