Can you die from laughing?

This movie has one of the best comedy scenes I've ever seen. I laughed so hard that I almost ran out of air.

Natalia and Oriol are a couple of filmmakers who decide to make a documentary about couples who have the same job (that is, a film about couples like themselves). While filming the documentary, their insecurities begin to emerge, and they engage in several discussions. One of these discussions is about the order in which their names appear in the end credits. This is the scene that left me breathless.

The movie mocks the creation process, while also exploring power dynamics in relationships. It might sound like a lot, but you can enjoy the movie effortlessly.

In general, it is unpretentious and entertaining.

Goofs
The Apple logos on the Macbooks appear mirrored during the investors pitch. Strangely, in those same shots the large letters on the back walls aren't mirrored.

Crazy credits
The director couple's names are shown in a "round robin" style (as a reference to certain scene in the film). The rest of the cast and crew names follow a similar pattern of semi-circular lines.
