The Widows of Thursdays

After having watched Marcelo Piñeyro's "El Metodo" and being breath taken by it, I was very exited to learn that he is making a new movie, "Las viudas de los jueves" with two of the El Metodo's cast. Being so impatient to watch this movie, in the mean time I found the book the movie is based on by Claudia Piñeiro and read it. It was a great book, so my expectations rose. But just because I read the book, I think I liked the movie less. Probably it is hard to capture all the aspects that I loved about the book, but what really bothered me was that the movie intervened a bit in the characters and even the story. Anyway it is a good movie, well acted, well produced, it has the right atmosphere. But yet, I 'll stick to liking the book and also "El metodo" much more.

The book was mildly interesting in its descriptions of the privileged gated community, so I decide to give the movie a try (I also have an inexplicable crush on Ernesto Alterio). As per title, I found the movie less than stellar and kinda bland. The acting is not exciting and neither is the scrip. Overall average tv quality

This movie is about people of privated neighboorhoods, and they are just like people in the movie. So this movie is truth if u were part of the 90s in the argentina.

I agree with Santi. The movie is too slow, there are some really bad performances... I didn't like the girl either! And I really hated these "top society" people speaking some words in English like "bye", "whatever", etc. That doesn't really happen!!! The rest of the recreation of people's superficiality was quite real to me. I found the final quite interesting, not so predictable... I thought that was good at first, but then, maybe that is because through the film they don't give you the idea of the real chaos inside each character... like... they were worried, they were not happy... but... to me that wasn't enough. Well that's my opinion. A 6, the mark you need to pass an exam at Highschool in Argentina. :)

I think this movie had so much potential, good quality, good actors (except for the young actress lack of charisma) they played a bit to much with the times it kept going on the past then the present again, then the past, but that didn't bother me, what bothered me was that the film had a message and didn't delivered, it could have been a great movie and it's just a bit senseless, without spoiling it I'm gonna say that none of those characters as they were build would actually do such a thing. It's clear that it's meant to be a social critic about the ups and downs of the social roulette and how vane and meaningless life is for the high class but it's just poorly executed and a bit childish.
