Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for people who'll be looking things up afterwards and anyone looking to switch off and smile. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. A good follow-up to Dolemite Is My Name or Boogie Nights. Soaked in 1970s atmosphere.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 27 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

Set in 1973 Spain, a struggling encyclopedia salesman and his wife take advantage of an offer to make adult films. The act turns him into an aspring legit filmmaker and her into an international sex symbol.
