Pessime storie

Viewing this movie, as an italian "cinema lover", it's impossible for me not to remember the great film "I Mostri" directed by Dino Risi in 1963, who starred Vittorio Gassman and Ugo Tognazzi among the other character actors belonging to the "crème de la crème" used to perform during the Sixties in many works of the so called "Commedia alla Italiana". But that was (and still remains) a Masterpiece of the European cinematography!... In "Historias Lamentables" Director Fesser makes use of a certain amount of latin "black humour" with the help of a good cast of actors but the four stories are weaks and someway predictables. That said, if you have two hours to spend lightly it could be a nice choice.

WTF how can THIS film have only an average of 6 here in IMDb?!? It it surreal, absurd, entertaining, well written and with actors that are one better than the other. Even photography is gorgeous! Maybe 9 is a little too high but I give it so to increase the score. Very nice movie, maybe just a little bit too long, but very nice movie!

It's been so long since Javier Fesser delivered a masterpiece of comedy like "El Milagro de P. Tinto" and I was afraid that after the letdown of "Campeones", which was a huge blockbuster and won Best Picture at the Goya awards, Fesser would be tempted to go the easier way to do a smash hit, but he just did not play it safe. This is his very own "Pulp Fiction"... 4 stories that may seem completely disconnected but ultimately add to a whole in a rollercoaster of emotions, twists and turns and dark comedy. A complete must-see, and it's even better if you know nothing beforehand, try to even avoid the trailers, and just let yourself go into Fesser's unique and genius vision.

The drama, the comedy, the suspense , is a well made storyline, is just wonderful from beginning to the end, best movie of 2020

My apollogies for using spanish but this phrase define such an excellent movie. Funny and with a clever sense of humour what is so hard to find(that osciles between black humour and playing a lot with the prejudices). Don't be afraid about the two hours of duration; doesn't feel hard at any moment.
