    Despite the ironic poster and a certain absurdity of what is happening, this is quite a serious picture. The film (almost a play) is about film rehearsals that reveal and transform initially caricatured characters. But the authors are also not averse to laughing at the rich and bohemian. Translated to English

    Watched

    Very cool, ironic, sarcastic, with a sweet banter over their own industry, over high-browed connoisseurs and narrow-minded consumers :) for moviegoers, most likely, cinema is worth its weight in gold. Others probably won’t appreciate it. Translated to English

    Watched

    A sitcom with a twist and an unexpected ending. Like a good dessert for a movie buff. Great cast! But the palm from me goes to Banderas, he is incomparable in the hypostasis of an arrogant star, and what manners, and gait! 🕺 Enjoyed watching. Translated to English

    Watched

    There is something caustically Cohen-esque in this picture… A sort of pamphlet both on the world of intellectual auteur cinema and on the universe of "Hollywood crap": pathos – unfounded and stupid – is more than enough in both. Bright actors in grotesque images. What could be better? Translated to English

    Watched

    I liked Banderas, he has a real main role here, but Cruz and Martinez do not at all. The movie itself, let’s say, is purely facade. Digging is not very sharp, and not deep. As a set of witty illustrations on all sorts of different topics, the same "This must be paradise" is an order of magnitude better. Translated to English

    Watched

    An excellently filmed caustic story about the filming of one movie. Unfortunately, the first half is much more promising than the second, where some absurdity begins. Yes, the ending solves, but does not save completely. And Cruz’s hairy armpits I won’t be able to unsee for a long time, brr. Why is this? Translated to English

    Watched

    Two narcissistic actors in funny situations demonstrate to us the existential questions of their life and professional existence. In this cinematic behind the scenes, the whole trinity shone, but Banderas is some kind of fireworks!) I’m glad of his main role). Translated to English

    Watched

    An excellent cinephile dramedy that exposes the festival film industry, subtle banter about different types of actors, directors and producers. Gorgeous dialogues, exposing complex cinematic problems, with simple funny humor. It will appeal to those who love cinema as an object of art. Translated to English

    Watched

    I expected it to be funny, but it wasn’t. The drama didn’t work either. The picture is beautiful, but sometimes too much, such a story is not for the viewer, but about the cinema world for those who live in it. Too eccentric. Translated to English

    Watched

    Subtle ironic funny. Liked it very much. It seemed to me a symbiosis of two other recently watched films "The Unbearable Weight of a Great Talent" and "Clone". Translated to English

    Watched

    Sort of like a pyramid of vanity, apparently in the form of a Mobius strip, it turned out very elegantly, funny and with an aftertaste Translated to English
