    Spanish humor from my favourite director from Spain

    I loved it, I'm generally tired of spanish movies. But nobody dares to do this, or any of the films he has made possible ever. Unique style, unique characters, fun and different. And this specific film reminds me of the short stories of the 60's Italian movies somehow. The only thing I didn't like was the techno music in most of the sequences. It was pretty distracting, sometimes too loud to understand the dialog and not very aligned with the style of each story.

    Anyway, it is a good movie. Javier Fesser will always be my favorite.

    One of the very best films of 2020 (and probably, the funniest).

    It's been so long since Javier Fesser delivered a masterpiece of comedy like "El Milagro de P. Tinto" and I was afraid that after the letdown of "Campeones", which was a huge blockbuster and won Best Picture at the Goya awards, Fesser would be tempted to go the easier way to do a smash hit, but he just did not play it safe. This is his very own "Pulp Fiction"... 4 stories that may seem completely disconnected but ultimately add to a whole in a rollercoaster of emotions, twists and turns and dark comedy. A complete must-see, and it's even better if you know nothing beforehand, try to even avoid the trailers, and just let yourself go into Fesser's unique and genius vision.

    Sunday Movie

    A Spanish comedy. Several stories intersect in which the events, although isolated, for the protagonists have an impact. From a man who encounters his past and his purposes change, a son who fails to look good with his father, a woman who tries to scam an immigrant, and a con artist who does not know how to be held accountable. Quality. Entertaining With a spectacular epilogue. He has the same humor and acidity of champions, he is the same director. Use the same formula as the movie "Wild Tales" He talks about life itself and sometimes how we dodge things and not face them, how little resilient we can be. A nice movie to spend the afternoon.

    Makes you laugh.

    It is a long time since I saw such a funny film. Really worth seeing. Very nice plot-twists and incredible characters.
