After reading the synopsis and reviews online, I wasn't sure if I'd be interested in catching this movie. I finally saw it at a special showing, and I was glad that I did. I'd suggest going into the film without any specific expectations and without reading the reviews beforehand. It's a much better film than they would lead you to believe.
The emotions are intense throughout, thanks to the heartbreaking premise. The two main characters are thrust into a desperate situation with no one to turn to, and they face a lack of compassion from those around them. Friends, family, and coworkers. It's anyone's worst nightmare.
Though there are some tough, heart-wrenching scenes, the film also has its fair share of humorous moments and instances that offer a sense of hope. The lead actors, Nathalie Poza and Javier Gutiérrez, show a great amount of range.
It definitely has a feel reminiscent of an American road movie, and I found myself wondering where they filmed some of those locations in Spain. In many ways, it didn't feel like a Spanish movie, which may be why it hasn't been reviewed very favorably online by national critics. It has some noir elements to it that I think would appeal more to an international audience.
I found myself engaged throughout the entire movie, unsure of where it was going or how things would turn out for our protagonists, which made it worth it for me.
