Dieci capodanni

I loved everything, I love the script, I love the approach. I love the camera work. I love the actors, and I love the soundtrack, I love the long take in the last episode. I love it when they argue, when they laugh, when they are accomplices. I found it endearing and beautiful. Absolutely amazing.. Sorogoyen seems like a true artist to me-the dialogues feel close, real, and heartfelt. A great discovery. The two actors, especially Iria, seem incredible to me. You believe them, and you're eager to see what will happen in the next episode. One of the best things I've watched.

Besides, these are everyday scenes that you might have experienced at some point, and they make you reflect on life, love, and truly living it.

This brilliant depiction of human relationships and the passage of time stands as one of the great gems of the Spanish audiovisual landscape. Rodrigo Sorogoyen, with his usual mastery, delivers a series that not only reflects the complexities of human connections with realism but does so with a sincerity and sensitivity rarely seen on screen.

The narrative of The New Years, structured around significant calendar dates, is a bold and captivating exercise. Far from becoming repetitive, each episode adds something new, exploring different facets of relationships and life in one's thirties. The series perfectly captures small gestures, silences, and emotions that define these moments, making every scene feel intimate and authentic.

The performances by Iria del Río and Francesco Carril are the heart of the series. Their chemistry and the truth they bring to their roles make their characters mirrors of the audience, drawing us into their joys, doubts, and pains. Both actors convey a humanity that is disarming, elevating every scene they share.

Sorogoyen's direction is flawless, using his talent for collective sequences and long takes with precision, giving the series a unique dynamism. This is complemented by a script with realistic and sharp dialogue that explores universal themes such as love, time, and the inevitability of change, without veering into melodrama.

In conclusion, The New Years is an extraordinary work that feels both intimate and transcendent. A series that doesn't just tell a story but lives and breathes it, leaving the viewer with the feeling of having witnessed something as real as it is unforgettable.

In my opinion, the acting was outstanding, with each actor delivering a performance that truly brought their character to life. The emotional depth and authenticity they displayed were remarkable and added a lot to the overall experience of the show. However, I felt that sex and nude scenes were unnecessary and did not contribute to the story. These scenes seemed to be included for shock value rather than to enhance the narrative or develop the characters. They disrupted the flow of the show and detracted from the otherwise compelling storyline. Overall, while the acting was top-notch, the inclusion of these scenes felt gratuitous and out of place.

Sorogoyen has outdone himself in this wonderful series, giving us 10 pictures with a year's gap between each one, where he shows us the evolution of the relationship of a contemporary couple, showing us how they spend each first day of the year.

The main couple is brutally natural, expressive, contained, sensitive, realistic, magnetic, charismatic, endearing, adorable and delightfully charming.

The Hollywood Oscar has no category to value and reward this tremendous demonstration of acting that the protagonists give us in each frame of this absolute masterpiece.

Sorogoyen's direction was already perfect in the film "The Kingdom", but here he goes off the scale, drawing all the feelings that the couple goes through during 10 years with the detail, care and precision of a neurosurgeon.

The result cannot be better because perfection cannot be improved.

Thank you Thank you Thank you.

I could relate to many of the situations that the main characters experience and I felt the characters' feelings on myself. I felt seen and exposed.

Dialogues were great, I loved the music, I enjoyed the way small details from previous episodes were integrated into the next. A gem that I am on the one hand sad that it ended, on the other hand happy that every episode felt excellent.

An intense but down-to-earth love drama with attention to detail. Friendship, honesty, respect and care for each other, deep dives into one's behaviors and decisions, on a journey that every year and episode brings different aspects of life as it really is.
