Why so much hype?
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Blistering performances.
This has to be one of the worst movies I've seen in a while. Either make it a love story about two guys or about a guy and a girl. It was disgusting, have they not thought about diseases? They are in lust, not love. Everyone around them can see how stupid the girl is but she can't. Lame movie
View Morea puzzle. this is the first definition. and, maybe, the best. because it is a love story in same measure like a film about dance, friendship, youth, choices. simple. and honest. and strange. not for the sentimental triangle but for the effort to contain each ingredient of a story full of details, sounds, colors and characters who remind ordinary people, situations and relations. a film about life. in honest manner. simple. and seductive for that. nothing surprising. nothing new. but enough for a beautiful film.
View MoreThis film is shot in one of my most favourite cities in the world. Barcelona.The story of three people who's lives become intertwined by a chance meeting.The big question. Can three in a bed really work? I found this movie on Netflix and really enjoyed it. A wonderful story, beautifully shot. The cast were fantastic and each one of them played their roll really well.I love Spanish films and this is no exception. I was genuinely moved by many scenes in this film, and the moment when you realise how much they love each other, made me cry, which never happens. This kind of tale could have easily become such a tragedy, but it is wonder for a change to have a story of this kind that ends of a feel good note. Well done a to the brilliant cast, really really wonderful watch.
View MoreI don't think that I'm the only one who, after watching this film, felt a little cheated. I initially thought that this would be a film about forbidden love, love surpassing all obstacles, a film that depicted the intricacies and beauty of same-sex monogamous love. I could barely have been more disappointed after watching this film as I found it so biased towards heterosexuality. The story begins sweetly enough, with a young man who has a girlfriend, finding out that he has a deep emotional and sexual connection to another man. Beautiful start, and then the film goes steadily downhill... After meeting the man he would fall in love with, Bruno and Carla (yes, Carla and not Rai) have a rather graphic romantic sex scene. If straight sex is what you're into then there are a few more similar scenes. Frustratingly any depiction of gay sexual interaction is filmed in either a sinister context (Bruno being caught cheating by his girlfriend) or a brief and vague shot with Bruno and Rai in a holiday-house. I don't necessarily think that sex is important or always belongs in a good romantic film, but there is a slight anti-gay undercurrent that runs through this film (as seen in the depiction of the love scenes), which brings me to my second point...I thought that it was quite unbelievable and disappointing that Bruno found another man who he had this deep connection with and loved, only for him to stay with his girlfriend and then only have Rai as a lover on the side. To add to the disappointment, Carla falls in love with Rai and they all end up living happily ever after, together, in a great big apartment that they could never afford...with their salaries combined. Now perhaps monogamy is just as unrealistic as polygamy, biologically speaking, though I would much rather watch a film depicting the under-represented theme of monogamous gay love than a film which reinforces the stereotype that gay or bi people are sexually unrestrained, i.e the ménage à trois . Some people may find that this hetero-biased film about polygamous love easy to relate to and enjoyable, though I certainly did not. I will say that the actors were all great, and the the cinematography was quite well done, but the rest was simply bleak.
