Salir del ropero

Great idea, great locations, some great actresses.... all gone to waste. The character of Eva is in my opinion very badly executed, she is sort of irritating and unrealisticly childish. Her personal evolution comes from nowhere and goes nowhere, and although the storyline comes from a very interesting place, the movie just doesn't cut it. It seems that someone had a fantastic idea and then somehow just didn't manage to transform it into what it could have been. I feel disappointed because I feel that with better direction it could have been a great film. Rosa María sarda, Veronica forque and Candela Peña are way too good for this.

Incredibly boring and pointless movie. Awful acting work as well.

I watched this movie yesterday and I really liked it. I don't think it was made to be realistic, instead I saw it like a caricature of us, humans. We crave for safety and order, but we also crave for love and acceptance. These things are often at odds, because each of us is a well of creativity and unpredictability. When we try to have a very orderly, predictable life we often need to lie, to others and ourselves.

I don't think this movie is a about sexual chemistry and things like that. I think it's about love and acceptance. It's about true stability, not about being able to predict how the future will be like, but the ability to know that some people will not abandon us, even when we make terrible mistakes. Instead, they'll try to understand. That's true security. I think this movie is about the most important topic of all: to be true to oneself. And it treats the subject in a light manner. Not a perfect movie, but I liked watching it!

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.

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
