Criticism of ‘The game of keys’, a comedy to continue at home

Vicente Villanueva directs a choral cast with Fernando Guallar, Eva Ugarte, Miren Ibarguren, Tamar Novas and Alina Nastase at the helm.

There are films, like ‘The Game of Keys’, that hook the viewer from the start because they challenge them to imagine what he would do if he were presented with a dilemma like the characters. The development of the plot, four very different pairs of friends daring each other to make an exchange between their components to have sex without further commitment, it seems that it is going to lead us to a predictable end. It is like that in some of the cases, but it is appreciated that in others there is a surprise.

Vicente Villanueva, specialist in comedies, once again demonstrates that he is a good director of actors and takes advantage of a cast mostly of rarely seen faces along with a Miren Ibarguren who is the life of the party, a Tamar Novas in an amusing comic key, and the discovery, the Argentinean Justina Bustos, cheeky and pert, attractive temptation, in the role of inducer to transgress the rules. The script, with some inconsistency and with no other intention than to amuse, is not limited to the most conventional options and introduces the characters to other possibilities, although, and this will be a virtue for some and a defect for others, without going over the line .

For viewers who like to follow the film at home.

​

The best: the discovery made by the Ibarguren-Novas couple without leaving home.

The worst: the final orgy, a pale reflection of the one in ‘Eyes Wide Shut’.
