Madrid, 1987 operates on a dizzying number of levels - as a romantic comedy, a sex farce, a study of culture clash, ageism and idealism - and the highest compliment you can give this ridiculously talky movie (which plays better if you speak Spanish) is that you're a little sad to see the characters go on their way once they part, probably forever.

The actors give their characters a resonance beyond the symbolic, but the action doesn't quite transcend the stagy setup. Read full review

Sweet, sometimes dull and certainly overlong. Read full review
