everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

I am actually a fan of Escobar movies/series/documentary. Any form of AV and I'll watch it. That is way I decided to waste my time on this movie.If you have seen Narcos series, then this movie is no match. In case you see this movie before Narcos, you are going to regret watching this movie.Ok so this movie is ok ok. Why was it shot in English language? Narcos has shown it in better way.Bottom Line: Avoid watching this movie.

The movie is well balanced, nicely written and directed and Penélope and Javier Bardem give as always wonderful performance. The biggest downside is that it´s in English - it definitely should have been in Spanish. Listening to the heavy accents of the actors was very tiring and Javier mumbles all the time and you can hardly understand what he´s saying. It would have been a great movie if they all spoke Spanish. There were also two horrible violent scenes (involving a dog and a horse) that were too much. The subject of the movie is known to death and yet again, it was well measured and not boring to watch.

A journalist strikes up a romantic relationship with notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. Despite the alright perfomances from both Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem 'Loving Pablo' is a really dull and boring biography that pretty much says the exact same things for the same person that other films have said better or portrayed. Plus the running time could have been shorter in my opinion as well since there's lots of boring conversations with the characters and basically lots of dull dialogue as a whole. I would recommend 'Blow' or 'American Made' even tho Escobar has a small role they tell a better and more focused story plus much better perfomances from the cast as well. (4/10)

Loving Pablo has certainly moments of guilty pleasure but leaves an empty feeling when reaching the end. This is the story of the rise and fall of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar. The very clever pairing of Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz as the strongly larger-than-life couple gave this production a shot at the international box office before it will go to smaller screens. Very much action-packed, Loving Pablo marks a turn towards the mainstream for Fernando Leon de Aranoa, the Spanish writer-director best known for social and political dramas. What ends up holding the film down to its level of superficial glitz is being adapted from Vallejo's novel/memoir Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar. The story is told almost on that basis and that's the min limit.
