El sexo de los ángeles

This shallow, irritating, sterile movie offers nothing but titillation for a certain sort of voyeur, maybe for women who like to watch men make out... the female equivalent of men whose ultimate fantasy is sex with two women. Any gay man who likes this movie needs to have his head examined - both of them.

This is a movie, like Brokeback Mountain, that was made BY straight people FOR straight people (as if they didn't already have enough movies) who think shoehorning gay sex into their movie makes it cool, or something dumb like that. It's an attitude that makes me furious and insults the gay men I suppose it means to pander to.

It's even worse than Brokeback Mountain, though, and casting Llorenç González can't be a coincidence: he looks almost exactly like Jake Gyllenhaal and is almost as ugly. Álvaro Cervantes is gorgeous and extremely sexy; without him this movie would have been just another stupid straight movie, but he's wasted in it.

Gay men should boycott all movies (like this one) that show twenty minutes of graphic straight sex for every twenty seconds of censored, castrated gay sex. That's like spitting in our faces, proving that we're nothing but pawns in their sick heterosexual fantasies.

a puzzle. this is the first definition. and, maybe, the best. because it is a love story in same measure like a film about dance, friendship, youth, choices. simple. and honest. and strange. not for the sentimental triangle but for the effort to contain each ingredient of a story full of details, sounds, colors and characters who remind ordinary people, situations and relations. a film about life. in honest manner. simple. and seductive for that. nothing surprising. nothing new. but enough for a beautiful film.

I went to see this with low expectations as a filler between more apparently heavyweight films at the Glasgow Film Festival but it turned out to be the best film of the festival. A lot more than just a gay romance, it's very funny, very sexy and clever. Although not apparent from the English subtitles, the film flows between Catalan and Spanish as comfortably as it flows between sexualities and the Galician outsider, who is neither quite Castillian nor Catalan, effortlessly occupies a hitherto undreamed of aspirational space which acts with centrifugal force on the other characters. I loved the peripheral characters and their world - something rang very true about them. With the main plot there is drama, there are plot twists, and an ending which is somehow so lovely that you will leave the cinema with a smile on your face. Go see.

About love, about a relationship in 3, two boys and a girl. The film is interesting, has constant action, unpredictable and well played. He is optimistic and shows that we set our limits in life.

This film totally blew me away! Maybe it's my age (72) but this film was really a shock. I sat there with my mouth open thinking am I really seeing what I am seeing? There's nothing worse than the idea that time has passed you by and you are not plugged in to current ideas but this film really showed me how little I know about the world as it exists today and probably how it has always existed. Sure, in my youth I had fun and did things I would never do again but always under the cloud of Catholic guilt which in this film does not even remotely rear its ugly head and we're talking about Spain one of the most Catholic countries on the planet. Everything about this film is unique as far as I am concerned. It seems to me that it has established a new threshold in terms of sex, opening the door for other filmmakers to expand sexual horizons in ways never seen before.
