Great character development. Strong performances. Well shot. End result enjoyable, but not life changing.

I've watched this movie four times now, it is great. Absolutely. I lost my father to Alzheimer's/dementia the acting in the movie is very well done. I do wish the English voice actor (For the main character) was an older voice and better voice acted - It is very important to get this right and I believe it is a miss. Since I watch it in Spanish (only once in English) I can tell you it is the best way to capture the essence and feeling of the movie ..... again truly fantastic.

This film had a lot of heart and was an easy watch. It follows a man with Alzheimer's trying to track down and locate his first love, before he loses those memories along with everything else.

It made me laugh out loud in parts, and had a feel-good vibe about it, with well-rounded characters. It meandered at times, and while I occasionally found my interest waning, I felt invested enough with the characters to persist. The young Mafalda Carbonell (Blanca) had excellent chemistry with Oscar Martinez (as Emilio) and together they provided many of the laughs and touching moments.

There are numerous tear-jerker moments - particularly towards the end as things get tied together nicely. Really heartwarming and well acted. It's not groundbreaking, but I definitely recommend it to those after a decent foreign language film.

Reviewers need to get their heads out of their a**es. Just because the star of the film is a professor doesn't mean we're looking for academic reviews. This was a film that spanned 3 generations and did it well. Each thought they knew it all but their interactions, just like life, taught them a thing or two ... about life. The relationship between the grandfather and granddaughter held the most charm. The parents lived in their own little world avoiding all that life threw at them. I could relate to the aging grandfather as well as the young girl. The film had a wonderful pace laced with comedy of all sorts. I highly recommend it. Good family comedy-drama.

It is a very funny and moving Spanish film; the plot is good and the performances are excellent.
