      Audience Member slow-moving socio-political commentary about Barcelona with sporadic references to a mythical Shanghai. A bit too long-drawn, tragic and pointless for my liking. The only thing unique is the 3 alternative interpretations on what actually happened in the end. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member i feel sad for the shy young man... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Between 2.5 and 3. Good movie, but maybe you´ll find too much echoes from similar stories set in the same era and circumstances. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member (***): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] A relaxing tale about love and growing up. The acting is good and I really liked the pace that the film took. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
