Fabulous film, absolutely gripping, thought-provoking, interesting. Carey Mulligan is superb, as always (she's SUCH an electrifying presence). Highly, highly recommended. Also the soundtrack is excellent.
First of all, I love Steve Coogan, don't mind Rob Brydon & adore Spain - so this should have been perfect for me. We enjoyed the first couple of episodes but then found the whole premise increasingly annoying to watch. There's a scene in episode 3 or 4 where they each do endless Roger Moore impressions & by the end of it I literally wanted to scream with frustration!
Not for me, would not recommend, won't be watching any of the other Trips etc.
Amazed that this has been marketed as a comedy. It really isn't. It's beautifully shot, excellently acted & the soundtrack is absolutely lovely. It's evocative but very melancholy & one part actually made me cry.
So don't watch this expecting anything upbeat or LOL - it really isn't.
PS: Great soundtrack though!
What a tremendous film. Beautifully made, excellent acting, thought-provoking - just perfect. I'd happily watch it again today.
Reminded me of those Sixties arthouse films like Zabriskie Point. Complete drivel - probably slightly more watchable if stoned.
We found this completely gripping, beautifully made, thought-provoking & ultimately very depressing, to have it brought home so clearly how little has changed over the decades. A brilliant film.
Really can't understand why this film was so poorly reviewed & glad to see that the other review here also enjoyed it. I thought it was beautifully made, well acted & a really clever, thought-provoking story. We both thoroughly enjoyed it.
Very interesting to learn that it's based on an unproduced Coen brothers script. I love their films & this has some of the dark, intelligent humour of those.
This is the nastiest film I've ever watched - why the hell was it ever made? I reckon I'm pretty toughened to film violence & unpleasant themes & misogyny but this takes the biscuit. Wouldn't recommend to anyone. Hateful.
