Turgid and boring
laduqesa3 August 2023
This was like wading through quicksand. The acting, dialogue, plot were all conspiring to drag me down into oblivion. I have to admit that I switched off after forty five minutes. In fact, at twenty minutes I received a phone call I had to take and was tempted even then not to un pause. The film's only seventy five minutes long but there was no way I was going to continue.

So Vicente and Diego were "in a relationship" were they? That's what the storyline says. Up to when I switched off they had snogged a couple of times and had had one fumbling vanilla experience between them. Unless things sped up in the final thirty minutes, then I can't see how the interaction between the lads and Lorena could develop.

Peripheral characters were either irrelevant or caricatures such as Senora Silvia.

And I HATE artiness for its own sake. What was the point of the women bedecked in frilly frocks traipsing into the sea? They appeared to have no relevance to anything or anyone.

This was such an awful, talentless, grinding mess. I'm kicking myself for sticking with it for so long. I should have switched off after the phone call.

Turgid and boring indeed

Warning: Spoilers
This movie went nowhere fast.

And then when it did seem to get somewhere, it takes a full 180 turn.

She catches them having sex in the forest.

You think she's done with him.

Then we get to the end where she comes up behind the two guys who are sitting on the beach, she begins to kiss both of them passionately. And then the three of them start to disrobe as they walk to the sea hand in hand.

Really. What was the point?

These two guys spend the whole flick avoiding each other, coming together, getting angry with one another. You want to feel their struggle, but the two of them were so completely irritating to watch it was hard to have any feelings for either one of them.

And then the movie comes to an end and she gets to shag both of them now?

Who are we supposed to feel for here? Lol.

This is where someone steps in and says that obviously I didn't get it. No, I guess not. Because regardless of the message, I felt zero for any of them, so the message is one that I really couldn't care any less about. No matter how profound.
