A train wreck of a movie.

Variety

A technically classy mood piece that ultimately falls victim to stylistic excesses.

When in the mood for a sultry, summery Spanish mood piece, this film might fit the bill. Whether it signals the arrival of a new auteur, that is another matter entirely.

(** 1/2): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] I truly enjoy coming-of-age films, but this one didn't really hold my attention throughout. The cast is good but the film just didn't completely work for me. AKA: <i>Hot Summer Rain</i>

Me ha encantado.Aunque para un malagueÃ±o es realmente difÃcil ver la peiÃcula concentrado si das un salto cada vez que reconoces un paisaje o una expresiÃ³n de aquÃ.Antonio consigue emocionarme al saber que en el resto del mundo la gente oirÃ¡ expresiones como "perita",tan nuestra y verÃ¡ calles como MÃ¡rmoles que ademÃ¡s,en mi caso,es parte de mi geografÃa emocional.Recuerdo perfectamente la maÃ±ana que Antonio rodaba en calle MÃ¡rmoles.Yo pasaba en bus camino de mi trabajo y tuve la suerte de verle con la gorra roja y la chaqueta de moto preparando la escena junto a la cabina antigua de telÃ (C)fonos.CÃºanto hubiera deseado quedarme ahÃ,observando..

I enjoy Banderas as an actor and was hoping that this would reflect some of his skill. I saw it in translation (sub-titles) so it may work better in Spanish. I think he is overreaching his material and that the movie is very derivative. It is his 'sophmore' directing effort and I think the movie shows that.

Antonio Banderas' second directorial feature about a bunch of coming of age youths. Stylish in visual cinematography & music used; sluggish in narrative however.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
