Granada Nights

Granada Nights is a great film. The key elements of the film's quality are the strong performances, the fresh script and the film's look. The story is fascinating, and the script is well developed, sometimes funny, some others insightful. In addition, the film shows the beautiful city of Granada. The photography is fabulous, and the direction is excellent.

Beautifully filmed movie that captures the abroad experience, especially the exquisite experience afforded to students in Granada. If you've been to Spain, it's a must see! There are as many twists and turns in the plot as there are in the old city of Granada!

I did my year abroad in 2016 (Germany!) and this just brought it all back! The lazy days, the random people you meet and never see again, the sudden panic when you realise you're not doing much with your life and the drifters that will still be there in 10 years - it really captured everything. And most of all the bitter-sweet feeling that everything is temporary and every friendship and relationship has a designated end. I've never seen it done on screen before - so for me it was really nostalgic but also for anyone who hasn't had the opportunity, this really takes you through it. It was so atmospheric, at times had a bit of a Dazed and Confused vibe where you're just watching the teenagers interact and react, shot beautifully, so many different characters from different walks of life. I especially loved Oscar because he is just such a classic old school guy on the prowl no shame lol - there were quite a few self-aware jokes there. I saw it in the cinema which was a real treat, so especially recommend that if you get the chance, it's a nice film to share with people. Just loved it, it's fun, emotional, it's got it all!

An almost non-existent plot, gamefully pushed along by clearly amateur actors, trying to convey deep meaning in a cliche-ridden dialogue. If you are aged 16 or under, you might find it mildly diverting. Anyone older should find something else to watch, or be prepared to bale out before the end.

A beautiful and poetic film about being young & abroad. The story is simple but it's the themes and feelings of connection and friendship that really resonate with me greatly. Shot in a unique aspect ratio, it mixes documentary with fiction with dash of nostalgia. It's hard not to love this film, beautifully shot and authentic in its portrayal. A must watch!
