At time beautiful, at time confusing like hell, this movie is worth watching. I must admit it caught me off-guard. I guess I was expecting another "Y tu mama tambien", for some reason. But this one is closer to "Adaptation." Lorenzo is consumed with his novel. Reality and fiction become all tangled. Confused, I identify with a previous user that said that he wanted to like the movie, but found it difficult. As for the sex scenes, they're passionate, pure, some could even say beautiful. There's nothing wrong with that. I enjoyed both performances by Paz Vega (Lucía) and Tristán Ullea (Lorenzo), but it's Elena Anaya (Belen) who steals the show. She's sublime in her role. As for the "the never ending" theme, I suspect the director used it to clear away a lot of guessing that people might have watching his film.
Out of 100, I gave it 75. That's good for **½ out of ****.
