Philip French Observer (UK) Lovers has a powerful sense of time and place. The sexual scenes are less explicit than is currently fashionable but much more erotic. Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Pamela Bruce Austin Chronicle Rated: 3/5 Apr 13, 2011 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Though well-executed, there's a disturbing emptiness to it that never makes it memorable or moving. Rated: B- Jan 26, 2009 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jul 23, 2005 Full Review TV Guide Rated: 4/5 Jul 30, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A simple story which rings true--Tender love!! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member It's spanish, it's drama. Overall minimalism highlight the story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Perhaps it was said to be created based on true events. In addition to its kinda slow & dragging narrative, the ending was weak. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Sexy, well-done film. Luv Abril. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
