New York Post

Familiar, soapy script.

Rated: 2/4

Ed Park

Village Voice

Bears some resemblance to All About My Mother, but lacks its compatriot's flamboyance, content to traffic in glib banalities and unwitting self-absorption.

Wise, beautifully acted and well-observed.

Maitland McDonagh

TV Guide

A shameless, straightforward soap opera (no Almodovarian excess here!), but it's pretty entertaining on its own sudsy terms.

Los Angeles Daily News

Albacete, Menkes and co-writer Lucia Etxeberria have a good ear for dialogue, but demonstrate less certainty at creating a wealth of memorable characters or situations.

New Times

A thoughtful, well-acted and well-observed (though bleak) look at what some people have to put up with to get through life.

Me trae muchos recuerdos. De las primeras que fuimos a ver todas las de la pandilla en Pamplona juntas al cine.

The interesting thing about this heterohomoromantic comedy is that it is an UnLove story. It's about almost love, or half love, or kind of friendship. There its merit.
