"smart Charlie Kaufman-style rom-com... ingenious postmodern caper... fresh and often moving" ★★★★
The Times
"funny-smart... witty and grownup"
The Guardian
"brilliant... wonderfully subtle... an ode to cinema"
Sight and Sound
"a sparkling script packed with emotional and cinephile detail... witty and articulate neo-screwball relationship comedy... this is a perceptive, self-analysing delight"
Little White Lies
★★★★
The Arts Desk
"a witty, cerebral film"
The Irish Times
"airy and unexpected meta-romance... playful, poetic"
The Observer
"playful and sexy ‘anti-romantic’ comedy… Trueba cleverly melds tart urbane comedy a la 70s Woody Allen with a 30s screwball romcom premise, with some Bergman in the mix too… Arana and Sanz exhibit an irresistible and convincingly lived-in chemistry… A proper grown up and sophisticated comedy"
The Crack Magazine
"A fun, feisty, anti-romantic comedy that Hollywood should learn from"
Indiewire
"charming... delightful... very funny yet properly grown-up... Arana and Sanz have superbly believable chemistry... Trueba has drawn a funny little valentine, shot through by a bright, sharp arrow of feeling."
