¿Qué vemos cuando miramos al cielo?

This movie purposefully breaks every movie-making rule in the book. The plot is told by a narrator. The main characters are never really the sole focus of the camera. In fact, the main characters almost never speak on-screen. The main plot is not important. The movie's main focus is the background scenery.

That's what makes it hard to get, if you're not used to this art house kind of film.

Absolutely beautiful shots, good acting, and a bit too slow, but chill pace.

7 out of 10.

I recommend watching this, if you like art house films.

Suggestion: Early on, go out to the lobby for popcorn ... and keep going. In the European tradition of bad filmmaking, the auteur is caught up intensely in every aspect of creating images, and is totally oblivious of what effect any of it has on an audience. I can imagine a Q&A following a screening consisting mostly of questions like, what were you trying to say with ... ? Followed by a long tortured answer, when the real answer is, "I have no idea." This is strictly a critic's picture, as evidenced by the preponderance of positive professional reviews. For us civilians, not so much. If you're looking to be entertained, watch varnish drying.

This is a trivial story so poorly told, and so boring!

They explain everything by using a narrator´s voice over, instead of images, dialogs or actions... reminds me "Glenn or Glenda" by Ed Wood Jr.

The love story? Who knows?...

I write this review due to the fact that I noticed that the vast majority of existing reviews is misleading.

The movie was great but in case you grasp the concept.

The movie's point is to show you an extraordinary fairytale inside the heart of the city while there are thousands of other stories happening at the same time. And these stories matter in the perspective of director.

The director successfully builds the big picture of our civilization where terrible things happen around us but we simply don't observe them. It is like everyone lives in his own micro-world without caring about others.

It is pretty normal for a lot of people to not like it as they are used to Hollywood movies .

Could have cut approximately 2 hours off the final run time with the absolute nonsense fillers this film had. Seriously, people were grunting and falling asleep in the theater, myself included. I did not need all those extra scenes that in no way contributed to moving along the plot. Ending was terribly predictable too, so I was wrong for staying in my seat thinking it'll get better. It got worse and worse..
