Las chicas están bien

I went to see this film when it premiered at Cine Doré in Madrid and I must say I wasn't very enthusiastic about it. I found it frankly boring and not that original.

The main theme of the film is female bonding and it uses an age-old artifice which is the "play within the play". Five women spend seven days in a villa in the Spanish countryside talking about their lives, their loves, their past and their personal and emotional scars. Now is that such a new subject for a film made in 2023? As to the acting I found it average and not extraordinary. I was expecting more from Barbara Lenny who plays one of the chicas but I was badly disappointed. Would I recommend this film? Definitely not.
