Charming and brutal

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Very light amusing distraction. Stuff for watching before bed with the wife. (Avoid the follow-on Velvet Collection - which is trash)In the same genre - Spanish sloppy stuff - Grand Hotel is better.

This show touches your heart in every way from laughs to tears. It is one of the best shows I have ever seen. The story line is so beautiful and filled with moments that make you feel alive and feel the passion going on throughout the show; happy; sad; comical etc.. it's purely sublime. Highly recommend. I'm up to the 3rd season and once done I'm watching it again despite my very busy schedule.

This is an outstanding TV show!From the very beginning to the very end it is marvelous. It keeps you in suspense, the plot is brilliant and there isn't a single moment that is not in its place. The actors, the cast, everyone are so talented, they really make the series' atmosphere come to live. Ana and Alberto's story makes you smile, cry, be sad, be frustrated, and whatever the emotions is, it's always a strong one. And in the end you cannot help but grin with happiness. Mateo and Clara are also so sweet,funny and interesting. Sometimes they are like little kids - they are always quarreling, teasing with each other, but they love each other immensely,too. AMAZING TV SERIES! The soundtrack, the plot, the characters, the actors, the settings - everything is amazing!! I highly recommend you watching it, if you haven't yet!

SPOILER: The show is visually stunning, characters are interesting (Raul De La Riva for instance) and almost everyone is really good looking. My main beef with the show is that it makes it really hard to empathize with the main characters. The premise is that you root for the lovers who almost never have things going their way (at least for too long). But their actions make it hard to root for them. Alberto marries Christina for her money to keep his store afloat. Christina loves Alberto earnestly, yet he continues his flirtations with Ana and one other woman. He cheats on her and treats her badly. And we're still expected to be on his side. Ana is too 'principled' to marry Alberto in a secret ceremony but has no qualms hanging around with a married man, while befriending his unsuspecting wife. It's all a bit hard to reconcile. The characters being 'flawed' is not the problem here, it's that the show carries on strongly making the assumption that you're on their side despite their actions. I personally struggled with forgiving them for their actions and wishing them to be united in spite of all the people they hurt along the way (in many cases unnecessarily and selfishly). Yet they are portrayed as being 'golden'.
