Featured review
2023. A Gen-X Review of a Decade-Plus Old Film That I've Never, Ever Seen Before
Who wouldn't like this film, and what's not to like? You have three of the most beautiful actresses working this century in Scarlett Johansson, Penelope Cruz and Rebecca Hall, traipsing across some of the most gorgeous landscapes here on planet Earth.
And they're kickin' it with one of the coolest dudes in Javier Braden.
Oh, and it's summertime.
In Spain, in case you didn't catch that.
Look, some movies are just good for the ride, or cruise.
Like a vacation.
I'll tag along.
Oh, there's twists and turns and bumpy roads a strange bedfellows, but I don't mind.
I'm just taking it all in and falling deeper in love with Rebecca Hall, who shines the brightest as per usual.
Thankfully, the elder director isn't in front of the camera in this one with these young actresses falling for him.
Movies don't have to change your life all the time, but can they take you some place nice for under two hours?
Yes, they can.
And this one does.
