SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

alidean37 I have just seen this film and I thought it a fantastic. I found it to be a heart rendering look of the routine of life. I felt an immediate connection with Marta and found her character to be central to the film. The dower and unemotionally Jacob adds a darkness to routine as life has left him unable to connect with the people around him emotionally as can be clearly seen at the end of the film hen he just goes back to the factory as if nothing has happened.The brother Herman while illuminating Jacobs darkness tries throughout the film to reconcile with Jacob but to no avail. His one happiness of he trip is meeting Marta. He also shone a light on the situation Marta was in. Caught in between the brothers her character throughout the film slowly begins to realise that there is more to her life than working in the factory and losing herself in the films she watches after work. To see Marta smile and laugh and start to enjoy herself is in complete contrast to the efficient factory supervisor.The film keeps you guessing as to whether Jacob and Marta get it together or Herman and Marta get it together or the two brothers hug and make up in true Hollywood style. I am very happy to say that the film wasn't a Hollywood production and that life does not work out in 90 minutes and happy endings are for fairy tales. It was a well shot and well acted film that delivers the message life is life and you must make your own happiness. I recommend this film to any one.It was a well made film that makes you think.

nerednos-1 Yes zeidinho, you're right, it is an extremely slow movie and no, you're wrong, because it is a beauty as well. Every time you expect something to happen (which is not so often) it does not. And when you do not it does, but so casually and so not emphasized that you could very well miss it. In this respect the film is very surprising because, in contrast with its contents, the film itself does not follow the familiar patterns of storytelling. The acting is very small and very effective. The repetitive patterns (does your life change dramatically, every day?) are as painful as they are familiar. The language of images is very smart, no need to explain much. I laughed sometimes, I moaned more often and I liked it very much.

Dude-E this movie is just plain awful, dull characters, superficial storyline,no humor. tension, twists or anything challenging whatsoever you just keep wondering what the hell you've just watched for the past 90 minutes, because there is actually nothing going on in there. i just can't find one good thing about this movie it's boring, and you actually feel like it's gonna last forever, let me describe it that way: take 3 middle aged people, and let them spend couple of days together babbling nonsense on and on. and that's what you gonna get if you feel like sleeping. i usually watch lots of foreign movies and this is the worst iv'e seen this year, go watch the sea inside. cause this one just don't worth 90 minutes of your precious time.

OpinionatedJM And the bite is memorable.I've been somewhat ... reluctant about long atmospheric mood setting shots where the fast-forward button becomes irresistible. The thing with this movie is that if you -like me- become fascinated at the beginning it's impossible to fast-forward anything as "indulgent" as it may seem, everything is directly (not even poetically) related to the movie, so much detail and so underplayed like our everyday lives.. Except it looks so pretty, and it all just hits you like a ton of bricks.I'm not completely sure about the absolute need to know Spanish in order to enjoy this film, because the acting is superb. You could almost follow the movie by watching the expressions and body language.
