Our Lovers

Our Lovers

Sappy shlock in the manner of the worst pulp love dime novels. Cringy dialogues and characters that are very difficult to listen to, let alone love. Skip this one. Spain has much better movies to offer.

Being a cinephile and romance film lover I stumbled upon a reviewer here that said it was the best they has seen in years. As I watched this and even with subtitles there was something very special going on! A smart funny introspective messy real human story with great characters and interesting dialog and just enough imperfection to breathe life into the whole affair. The leads have a great banter and intellectual chemistry that lets everything else evolve naturally. Even Cristobal as the wacky best friend is not out of place here and the other villains' in the story are not so intractable that you dont have at least some sympathy. The legend of Our Lover will grow and will rank right up with the greats over time. I already know I will visit Irene and Carlos often and be glad to be caught up in the magic each time.

Towards the middle of this movie I realized how much I liked it, though I was enjoying it from the start. The dialogue can be a bit poetic, making it harder for me, a non Spanish speaker, to understand, so I did have to rewind a few seconds here and there to read again. It gets better as it goes. I recommend it, but not sure it's for everybody.

If a movie can keep you Involved for hundred or so minutes what else you need

This came as a recommendation from my 91 yr. old father. I must say it exceeded my expectations. It is both well written and acted, and leaves you feeling good. I highly recommend.

Excellent scrip, the use of the language is great, the phrases used to describe emotions and thoughts are deep, cynical, funny, honest and ingenious. It a delight to see, great landscapes. Very well developed story, we can identify ourselves with the characters. Worth to see it many times, congratulations for this masterpiece!

I liked that this film was different from other romance movies I have seen where the characters are not only playing a game where they are not to know too much information about each other and no phone numbers etc. like in the past but the fact they are both trying to get over someone which made this different and rather fun to watch. I did get personally distracted by the subtitles throughout and found that they were too fast at times and that I couldn't really watch the film properly as I was trying to keep up with them. However this film was really cute and I ended up smiling a lot from it.

Based on other reviews I thought this was a romantic comedy with a fresh approach. Well, it's not. It intends to be an intelligent, original movie (expectation was a kind of Woody Allen comedy), but turns out to be an unfunny, really boring movie about a predictable romantic relationship. The screenplay is bad, most dialogues are bad, the acting is not good either. The humor consists of a few bad jokes (some involving farts and vomit, that are definitely not my kind of humor, other involving pancreas cancer - anyone who has had a friend or relative with this disease will agree that there is nothing funny about it). I love comedies but I could not laugh not even once. So unless you want to spend one hour and a half watching a stupid, boring "romcom", skip this one.

Is not that the acting was bad...but the writing was so terrible that no actor could have saved this! All the dialogues were the complete opposite of how two humans interact. I felt like I was listening to 2 people reading text messages for two hours...and to be fair I've read better text messages on my phone whilst "watching" this. Yes. It was THAT bad. Don't waste your time.
