50/30
At the age of 50, Julian, divorced and short of cash, uses a car sharing app to travel around Madrid. He falls in love with Lorena, a regular passenger, his troubles begin when two strangers join them on the trip. Filmed at the Marqués de Riscal Hotel. Features L’année dernière à Marienbad (1961). Mr. Blue Skyby Electric Light Orchestra. It’s a good idea, not original, but not that bad. The film starts off well, but then goes from one unrealistic situation to another. Predictable and boring most of the time. Anyone who has watched “The Day of the Beast” by the same director will be very disappointed. It’s not funny at all. The situations are unrealistic, but not in the funny, immediate, classic movie way mentioned earlier. On the contrary, everything is predictable and the gags go on and on, without any planning. The lack of preparation and care in this product is so obvious. If you want to watch a Spanish movie with a story about a shared car, try “Dime dónde viajas”. It is not a very good movie, but at least the story is more engaging and the main character more interesting. There is also a bit of mystery and a few references to songs and popular Spanish culture. In this product, on the contrary, you will not find anything like that, the bed scenes, love scenes, action scenes are average. I give it a 5 because it is watchable, but 1 hour 35 minutes seems to last forever, only one hour is enough to tell this story that leads nowhere.
