The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I have already watched it 4 times and i am sure i will watch it another many... After watching Sergi Lopez in numerous movies, i personally think he is truly gifted and persuasive... and many times the bad guy !!! For Paz Vega not much to say... i have already watched 7 to 8 of her movies and i am very impressed... the movie points out a lot of meanings and strong, powerful feelings. It is not another female abuse movie... a powerful movie with suspense, and great performances by Paz Vega, Sergi Lopez, Elvira Minguez and Alberto Jimenez. great work!!! PLus amazing songs by Clara Montes. It is definitely worth seeing despite the comments that do not suggest so.

If Javier Balaguer wanted to make a denunciation of ill-treatment against women he should've filmed a documentary instead of this movie full of clichés, stereotypes, unreal dialogs and the awful performances of Paz Vega and Sergi Lopez. I didn't expect much of Vega, she's so bad -although no one seems to notice- but I've always liked Sergi Lopez and I must admit that his work in "Sólo Mía" leaves a lot to be desire. Maybe he was influenced -in a bad Way- by Paz, or maybe Javier Balaguer has not the faintest idea about actors direction.So if you wanna see a decent movie about ill-treatment you'd better go and see Icíar Bollaín's "Te Doy Mis Ojos". That's a serious movie, and with top quality actors.*My rate: 3/10

What a disappointing movie! It tries very hard to convey a message and certain emotions but fails to do just so. It leaves me empty and frustrated at the end (thank god it ends). This film is no-doubtingly a farce comparing to many outstanding Spanish movies that actually have some depth. The leading actor's acting is acceptable but the same cannot be said about the leading actress although at some point my heart wants to go out for her.She plays an innocent young woman who's not particularly highly educated. However, her acting constantly reminds me of the fact that I am watching a staged show instead of a poignant drama of domestic abuse in real life.

Domestic violence is perhaps more prevalent than one realizes. People caught in this situation often don't have the guts to confront reality and never leave the relationship soon enough to gain their sanity.This film, directed by Javier Balaguer, was shown recently on cable and since it paired Sergi Lopez, perhaps Spain's best movie actor, and Paz Vega, got my attention.The situation presented here is a study on how Joaquin, an up and coming advertising executive meets and falls in love with the lovely Angela. One can see from the beginning this relationship is doomed. Joaquin takes out all his frustrations on Angela and beats her up on many occasions until Angela walks out. The best part of the film is the surprising twist we witness at the end. We realize that justice works in mysterious ways, but it finally arrives and Angela is a winner.Sergi Lopez is excellent as Joaquin. This actor has an intelligence that keeps amazing his fans from one film to next. Paz Vega is a beautiful, but resolute Angela. Elvira Minguez plays the pivotal role of Andrea, Angela's best friend, with conviction.
