Romantic comedies are a dime a dozen and all has been written and done before, but this one is different... oddly enough, but yeah... different!

It's not "boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boys gets girl back... this boy keeps meeting girl after girl after girl after girl and he always knows where things go and he ditches them before losing them. Until one day (or one girl) he doesn't know where it can go...

Love shouldn't feel comfortable but exciting, it shouldn't be a "deja vu" or a "been there done that" but more of a "I really don't know what's coming and that's great!"... and that's exactly what this boy - and us, the viewer - get, and that's what makes this movie different, fresh and great!

With "Los Renglones Torcidos de Dios", Oriol Paulo made another well directed and well written tribute to Martin Scorcese's 2000 "Shutter Island", just as he once did in 2018 with "Durante La Tormenta" as a tribute to Gregory Hoblit's 2000 "Frequency".

Oriol Paulo is a master when it comes to psychological thrillers and also making good tributes to great movies and great directors!

This one is not entirely original, but it is very well written, competently directed, the photography is amazing, the actors are all great and Barbara Lennie is awesome from start to finish.

It's slow paced, probably a bit too long but a very entertaining movie.
