Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown Reviews

A solid black comedy that put one of the greatest international filmmakers on the global stage. Just a masterful execution of quick, character-driven storytelling. A lot happens in a short time, and the chaos takes center stage.

I really enjoyed it, thank you for recommending it. What struck me was how much of the comedy comes through the language itself. Even reading subtitles, I could hear the speed and the drama in the way the women talk, almost like music. But it never felt shallow.

puro cine

con mi xico estética de locos la vd bastante buena y los actores me han gustado tela

The La Lupe song at the end made me like it even more, brilliant! The melodramatic yet comedic dialogue made it feel telenovela coded and it’s also a super stylish looking film. Candela’s character was pure comedy tho 😂.

Totally insane. Amazing design, amazing script, amazing cast.

Fifth film for my Spanish Cinema class.

As someone who doesn’t speak Spanish, the comedy aspect of this film gets lost in translation. What i mean is that reading the words for a comedy is different than actually being able to fully immerse yourself in it. Therefore, i didn’t find this film funny, although im sure it is if you’re a Spanish speaker.

Along with the bump in the comedy, it made the story less interesting and communicative. It made me a little bored.

Really, REALLY funny. There are about a dozen spoilers that aren’t believable when written here, Fuck you

Love it

extra saaie versie van pulp fiction alsof het al niet saai genoeg was

I relate

pure chaos.

Puta
