4/5

Although it can be dense or even tiring at times, '53 Sundays' finds its strength in its relatability. It's easy to see our own family dynamics reflected in it, which makes each argument more relatable than we might like to admit. [Full review in Spanish]

3/5

In an era where films looking for an international audience are increasingly less nuanced and more heavily action-oriented, Spanish director Cesc Gay moves in a completely different direction.

6/10

Although its theatrical origins condition the cinematic experience and limit visual scope, the film relies on the consistency of its performances and a script that prioritizes verbal exchange as its driving force. [Full review in Spanish]

7/10

A sharp, dialogue-driven family dramedy that thrives on discomfort and emotional avoidance. Modest in scope but honest in its portrayal of fractured relationships, elevated by strong performances—especially Javier Cámara.

A flowing movie (spanish) on bickering between 3 siblings, who have different profiles now. While they tend to be polite at times, their feelings are hardly hidden. They hate the ones who are late and the one who is over-punctual. The one who is over-helping and who does nothing. The bickering aren't loud, but you cant miss the bang ! And the ironies are superbly played with 3 meetings for a change of bulb. The performances are strong to support a one-room drama and dialogues are sharp.

I watched it with English dubbing which I normally hate but the translated acting was spot on! The trope is a bit old and the ending predictable BUT the acting and the way it was directed/presented was fresh and beautiful. The pacing is quick but hits all the marks. If you're a movie buff, check it out
