For those who love obscene cinema, here you are another extraordinary film... just say horrible and disgusting.

The idea about everyday people with everyday lives is highly exploited in spanish cinema, clumsily worked and very very boring.

The plot not bad but all the time wishing it would start, overwhelmingly slow dialogues and that musty touch of spanish sexual scenes.

The actress's performance is remarkable but the rest of the cast is very questionable. I can understand why she won a Goya.

I was able to finish watching it just to be able to give my opinion about it, so good luck, it's your turn.

The original title for this is "let no one sleep". It is ironic, because the movie is a true boredom fest all its first half. In fact, it was very hard not to fell aesleep.

It is kind of a Spanish take on cinema verite, but less artsy and more dull, extremely slow and boring. Overall, it is something like a documentary, with regular to ugly people just talking and doing their everyday stuff.

The performance of the main character is remarkable, largely the best of the movie. She is very natural and credible and the only good point of this horrible movie.

Sure, some 'artists' could consider this movie some kind of 'art' and feel excited by the 'reality', the slow pace and so on. I do not see the point of exploring a movie style the French explored already decades ago. All in this movie feels outdated: the style, the credits, the story... To me, this is not art; instead, it is just a hard to watch movie due to the uninspired dialogues, uber-boring story, uninteresting characters and disgusting moments.

Only recommended if you have insomnia. It is a plain BAD movie.

I was glued to the screen, the actress performance is sublime and the representation of tough realistic situations made me feel like I was an invisible observer of a real life.

Eventually you can get an idea of where the movie wants to go and that only worked to increase my interest on knowing how will it be done.

This movie gives space to the main character to grow, without rushing the scenes to get pointless action but building the character and letting us know and understand her better. The script feels natural, specially if you are a native speaker or have lived in spain for a while, and the dry humor is spot on. A film worth watching.
