      Ty Burr Boston Globe Wants to be a subtle, penetrating look at a group of 30-somethings and the lies they tell one another. Sometimes it achieves that aim. And sometimes 'more mature' just means 'duller.' Rated: 2/4 Mar 25, 2005 Full Review Ryan Cracknell Movie Views Denys Arcand light. May 2, 2005 Full Review Donald J. Levit ReelTalk Movie Reviews Disappointing and hollow. Nov 24, 2003 Full Review Robin Clifford Reeling Reviews ...there was little in these characters that compelled me to like them [in "In the City"] Rated: C Nov 10, 2003 Full Review Laura Clifford Reeling Reviews for the most part In the City leaves its characters just as we found them Rated: C+ Nov 4, 2003 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall The focus is squarely on the people, not any plot mechanics, and the result is a deeply internalised drama about the unspoken awkwardness in all relationships.

      Audience Member I'm not sure what I just watched here, but it was entertaining enough. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member it was a bit difficult telling the intermingled friends apart in the beginning but it gradually began clear what their complex web of lies were. the acting was credible and yet sad if they were meant to portray life. in general each one of them were in situations that appear to be modestly happy, but at the end of the day there's just discontent. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member what has become of 30-somethings? do we lie to self and/or each other all the time? unfortunately, not a single character was compelling... i was fighting sleep to get to the end of this movie. interestingly, hubs asked what i would do if a late 30-something peer dates my teenage niece... hmm... food for thought! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Some situations and aspects of the characters are interesting, but most of the movie is a little dull. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Creo que esta película ha sido injustamente maltratada por los críticos americanos, ya que para mi se trata del mejor film español de 2003 justo detrás de Soldados de Salamina. Cesc Gay realiza un extraordinario retrato de un grupo de amigos de una gran ciudad, unos personajes con los que cualquiera se puede identificar. Una película que es como la vida misma, con personajes absolutamente reales, que pueden ser tus vecinos o tus amigos. Cesc Gay no fuerza en ningun momento las situaciones, sino que éstas evolucionan y suceden de forma natural. Más o menos, un año en la vida de un grupo de amigos, unos meses en los que todos tienen que hacer frente a situaciones nuevas e imprevisibles. Una gran puesta en escena, un guión extraordinario, y unas interpretaciones soberbias (Eduard Fernández, María Pujalte, Mónica López, Álex Brendemühl, Xisco Amado... etc) son las bazas de En la Ciudad. Un saludo! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Shallow but pleasing deception-galore about adult relationships. Allen-esque story of a group of friends in their thirties and their secrets and lies, but mostly reduced to some bed-surfing.
