what are you talking about

After 14 years together, Ale and Alex have a slightly crazy idea: throw a party to celebrate their separation. If this announcement leaves their loved ones confused, the couple is confident in their decision. but really?

What does the press think?

According to Les Inrockuptibles:

“Jonas Trueba writes an absolutely charming comedy of (perhaps) remarriage, as sly as it is downright bleak, acting like an undercurrent that sweeps you away without warning.” By Jackie Goldberg – 5/5

According to Cahiers du Cinéma:

“In this way, Trueba manages to extract from everyday life a state of union (a Capra film that Cavell could have included in his corpus) that is doubled and reversible: remarriage emerges under preparations for separation, but the joy of these preparations is tinged with a possible sense of loss.” by Charlotte Garson – 4/5

According to the latest news from Alsace:

“Irresistible Anti-Romance.” by Natalie Chiflett – 4/5

According to Liberation:

“Reuniting with his favorite actors, the Spanish filmmaker creates a bittersweet comedy about the end of a couple who decide to celebrate their breakup, playing to the point of dizzying repetition of dialogues and situations.” By Sandra Onana – 4/5

According to Paris Match:

“Do we get an episode update from Jonas Trueba’s sentimental life? Before the nostalgic recollection of a dead love is badly healed? The film is as beautiful as Cora’s song – a song by Izao band Les Egarés.” By Yannick Veli – 4/5

According to Le Parisien:

We don’t know anything about Alice and Alex’s past and we stay on the surface of this romance (or ex-romance?)… These two artists who quote Nietzsche, Kierkegaard and Liv Ullmann are fascinating, but we get the impression that we are staying theoretical. their side of history.” by Catherine Ball – 3/5

According to the Prime Minister:

“Surprisingly and melancholic, September brings summer to an abrupt end.” By Lucy Chicker – 3/5

According to L’Obs:

“Stimulating at first, mise en abyme (…) guilty of self-satisfaction and biting the tail. “It’s interesting, but too long and repetitive,” he goes so far as to comment to one of Ale’s friends when he discovers the editing of his new film Given this level of transparency and the wonderful end credits, we’re sorry to say that Vertigo doesn’t exist by Nicholas Schaller – 3/5
