Fantastic!

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I saw this film because I was looking for representations of teenagers in Spanish cinema. The storyline sounds promising but unfortunately the main character is so rude (imagine Annie after taking drugs!) that after a few minutes you don't care what's going to happen to her. This film is so boring I had to force myself to finish it. I have seen many Spanish movies but I didn't know any of these actors, I wonder if they are professional or amateurs. The acting is ridiculous, the dialogues don't make sense and the shots are awful and completely atrocious. Waste of time. It is not a good example of contemporary Spanish cinema. I have recently seen some films (mainly comedies) of this period and genre, and this is the worst of them all.

Saw this at the Chicago Latino Film Festival and it's worth a watch. Carlota breaks up with her boyfriend and decides to start a diary/manual as she tries to clear her head about love, relationships, and sex. The movie offers plenty of laughs and sweet moments, though it does sort of lose a bit of steam about halfway through.My biggest criticism is that though it was Carlota's diary, the movie was also trying to include subplots of her two best friends that didn't quite get enough attention. I would have liked to see a little bit more about the surrounding events.All in all, this was a sweet and entertaining film.
