Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

NikkoFranco I might be new to IMDb but as a lifelong cinema lover, I feel compelled to write my comments some two decades later. Paz Vega is the dame of Spanish art films like this one. Why should anybody be bothered by nudity I can't fathom , as it is done in a really , funny bordering on hilarious manner. As I understand Spanish, I feel lucky not to be dependent on the subtitles as some translations seemed edited to me. It is a heady film that feels like a lot of thinking has to be done by the viewer while having too much of that good wine, enjoying the sunset and reading a script upside down. Marvelous.

tao902 Prior to the present day of the film, a former partner, Elena, of a writer, Lorenzo, had a daughter, Luna, who Lorenzo began to visit. He had an affair with Luna's childminder during which time the family's dog attacks and kills Luna. Elena left to spend time on an isolated Mediterranean island. Lorenzo continued with his writing, drawing on aspects of his own life for story content.In the present day of the film, Lucia is a waitress in Madrid and after her partner, Lorenzo, the writer, leaves a suicide note she leaves to spend time on an isolated Mediterranean island which happens to be where Elena has based herself. The two meet and gradually realise their common link. Lorenzo recovers from what was a failed suicide attempt and visits the island, meeting both women resulting in them all unravelling their interwoven lives.A complex film in which past and present alternate and real life is mixed with the events that are being created in a novel. An erotic drama stylishly filmed and well acted. However, the film relies excessively on coincidence and the happy ending results from an event which is slightly artificial, a little too convenient.

Kiryl Viarenich Young men want to see this film just because of excitement. But it's much more complicated. It's about the pain and pleasure. You feel pain when you lose your lover, and it's a great pleasure to see him (or her) alive. Thus sex doesn't bring only pleasure to Lucia. It's something that brings her pain. What is there between a human and sex? You know there are always extensions to sex. E.g. your friends accompany you in you life and they can help you overcome any difficulties. The life of simple people can be so sensual! Paz Vega is very beautiful and this is a role for her, however Tristán Ulloa with his blond hair doesn't look Spanish. I think "Vicky Christina Barcelona" was inspired by this film.

Faye K This film has fallen into my hands by accident and i am so happy for that as i found it absolutely amazing!!! I loved the twist and the whole story surrounding it!!! I found it totally daring and bold, very smart and the music by the wonderful Alberto Iglesias was just so good. The performances by Paz Vega and Najwa Nimri are just breath taking and Tristan Ulloa so sweet and real. The actors and actresses altogether have managed to make me feel various feelings throughout the movie and i have to admit that i have watched it over 10 times by now!!! THe location of the movie offered great colors and excellent views even though i still don't know where it was filmed!!!Another one time Javier Camera has proved his amazing talent. Julio Medem has made an exceptionally remarkable work. Spanish cinematography is indeed the finest!
