Loco por ella

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.

When a one-night stand turns into much more sometimes we find out the extremes a person will go for love. Adrian meets Carla in a bar but when he finds out she resides at a psychiatric hospital he pretends to be a patient to be with her. This story reminds us that we can't just love mental illness away. A heartfelt look at people who live behind the gates where they can be themselves when living in the so-called "normal" world is impossible. You'll be laughing through tears in this excellent Spanish romantic comedy.

This is my first ever review of a romantic movie. I have watched tons of movies so this makes me qualified to write a review about a master art romantic movie. This movie is very genuine and the acting done by all actors is just amazing specially the lead female actress and lead male actor. Its a tear of joy and the same time of grief the problems these people face the agony of not being normal the feeling to return to normal world and be normal people and the love between audri and carla its so authentic. Please watch this movie it should be selected for an oscar.

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

Different than Beyonce meant for sure. But still crazy as can be. Now seeing the main female character, it is not really tough to make her - to decipher her ... issues? That's one way to describe her - but it also makes her fun and exciting. Of course the question is, with all the highs, there are obviously also a lot of lows along the way.

What really makes this movie though is not the crazy couple itself. Or not just to be fair - because one of the most emotional moments (or a couple of them to be truthful) comes from a side character and his daughter. Even without having children of my own - this really strikes home! I do believe that viewers will be touched by that scene .. really putting the heart into all the craziness going on.

A movie that is as heartfelt as it is funny ...
