‘A
little bit like Woody Allen, or an episode of Seinfeld minus the stream
of gags, this talky Spanish comedy tells the story of a couple planning
a break-up party’ - Cath Clarke, Guardian.
Ale and Alex make this decision, to everyone’s
consternation: ‘you are a perfect couple!’ They go ahead and organise
the party, sorting out who has what DVDs and who keeps the flat along
the way.
‘Even
as they insist that they're perfectly fine about separating, the film
is skilfully shot to both put Ale and Alex at odds within the frame and
also show them as loving partners...Both take involving internal
journeys through the narrative, dealing with their thoughts in their
own ways as they speak with the people around them. And inventive
touches continually add startling resonance, right to the terrific
final act’ - Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall.
