La virgen de agosto (2019)
Just watch something else.
I want to warn all those who have not watched this movie yet to please avoid wasting more than 2 hours of your lives with this third-rate film. The plot is absurd (staying in your city in August, okay... Moving to another apartment just for the summer?), the situations are forced, the dialogues are unreal, the performances are poor, the tempo is inadequate (the film is way too slow)... The conversations are silly (they sound like teenagers going through their adolescent crisis more than grown 33 years old people discussing about real problems). Hard to tell where the movie is going (if it is going somewhere).
One could say that the film fails in every possible way. The worst movie I have seen in 2019 and (without a doubt) one of the worst of the decade. If the director were not the son of Fernando Trueba, this film would have never been released.
Alguien tiene que morir (2020)
The usual stuff...
The plot is way too absurd, from multiple points of view. As per the rest, the series tell the story exactly the same way the story has always been told for that particular period of the Spanish history. Gay and left-thinking people are kind, human and loveable. Right-thinking people are not just bad... they're the devil (or even worse). The bad people in these series are that evil that it makes the series simply unbelievable. I don't want to be a spoiler, so I will not unveil some incomprehensible behaviours here and there. I'll just say that no one, really no one, would behave that way towards a son, a grandson, a friend or whatever now, during the Francoist Spain or ever. The frozen panels of the actors/actresses displayed for a few seconds after certain scenes are surely supposed to be artistic, but they are a complete flop.
