I found this a few days ago on Netflix as I was looking for movies to practice my Spanish. I liked it immediately, the cultural aspect - the way Spaniards interact vs Canadians or Americans/English. I lived in Hollywood for years and used to help some of my friends (some are famous actors) prepare for their roles. So I know how to spot a good actor - and this little movie is full of them. It develops slowly compared to Manic and predictable yet empty Hollywood movies, but that is what I like to see because it reflects reality. The twist was quite shocking to me in a good way - it really surprised me. I loved the drunk arguments which reminded me of a movie I saw long ago with my friend's grandmother playing a wife of a professor I think (Who's afraid of Virginia Wolf I think is the name). I loved it and I watched it several times actually (which I normally do only with Almadovar's movies). I have never seen any of these actors before. Very refreshing especially if you are fed up with boring Hollywood manic predictable sameness. Music was not bad but at at times too revealing of what's to come next. And I found a couple of long discussions a bit predictable and over the top - but overall I recommend it - and I showed some bits to couple of friends and they wanted to watch it (but we had to go) - I am definitely going to watch it again. Reminds me of my student life in London and of many good and funny things I have done. I like how the approach to the story is as different to predictable Will and Grace nonsense as possible. Very Spanish/European - refreshingly very different from toxic mania of Hollywood.
