Nice movie, perhaps slightly too slow and with too much downtime, for the whole movie it actually seems that nothing happens and everything could be solved in a scarce ten minutes. The film is also quite funny and entertaining, but apart from the protagonists all the other characters are practically useless for the purposes of the plot.

As usual in other Berger stories, the dark and the tender, the weird and disgusting and bizarre and even comic combines with the serious. But, somehow, It keeps you intrigued

Unusual dark comedy about the possession of a man under hypnosis by a schizophrenic murderer. Some very funny.moments and some very weird ones, too! But intriguing nonetheless!

A brightly colored, eye-catching dark comedy that's inevitably hit-or-miss but never, ever dull ...

One Room With A View

A magical realist extravaganza of tragic masculinity, it had us crying with laughter.

Aggressively and exhaustively original...a very visual film sprinkled with eighties references...I certainly hope this isn't the last film we'll have from this director.

It is a funny movie that... remains on course thanks to the charisma of its actors and Pablo Berger's very good direction. [Full review in Spanish]

It's necessary to be very daring to talk about sexism in Spain, the Spain of the abusive husbands, from humor at times and have good results. [Full review in Spanish]
