I did enjoy the movies, in general I do like "one room" movies as there's nowhere to hide and the viewer can entirely focus on the story. Very theatrical.
I have two point I would like to mention:
Nonetheless I would suggest the viewing.
I have two point I would like to mention:
- there's a bit too much camera jumping around from one side of the table to the other, this is usually normal and expected for dialogues, but when the entire movie is pointing at faces of people after 1h:30 it feels a bit too much.
- I think we are in front of a great missed opportunity. The subjects are so unique and especially beautiful/rich that it's difficult for a "normal viewer" to engage or be part of them. You probably feel opposite like criticising them. No Stockholm syndrome.
Nonetheless I would suggest the viewing.
Bad directing, a TERRIBLE story with expected 'twist plots'. Acting was okay.
Very smart film with great dialogue and tight directing! You won't believe what can happen in 1 hour 17
This drama is very much in the style of 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf'. Instead of a mid western college, this film is set in the office of a Spanish company. The four founders of the company are in deep trouble, all of them about to go to jail for tax evasion. However, there might be a way out, if one of them can take the fall and go to prison for seven years, then the rest can be saved.
The four founders hire a mediator to help them work through this dilemma. The founders are three handsome men and a beautiful female CFO. All are young, clever and persuasive. The mediator is the perfect foil, old, short, plain looking and slightly withdrawn. Over the course of the film, the founders tear each other apart whilst the mediator gently moves them towards a conclusion. A truly gripping drama. The only draw back for a non-English speaker is that the dialog is so complex and the speech so rapid fire, that sometimes it is hard read all the sub-title.
A great film, almost certain to be done over by Hollywood, watch it before it is ruined!

Really good acting and interesting character development in a tense and claustrophobic setting.
Big personalities battling to expose each other's emotional weaknesses that pretty much covered all 7 of the deadly sins. The premise for the plot of corporate financial wrongdoing did not make you favor one character over another so was left to the film to lead you to the same conclusions on each person as each of the characters would have as they attacked each other on a personal level.
The attacks started fairly civilized as they utilize a third party but quickly drop the passive aggressiveness and go full on. This transition is really the point of the film and the pace is just about right.
The ending was a bit abrupt and disappointingly predictable but by that time the viewers' verdict was set and the ending, while a let down, was somewhat inconsequential to the success of the film.
