Feels like Pedro Almodovar

Rating: 7/10 (17 February 2009)

If you've ever seen a Pedro Almodovar film certain elements of this film will seem familiar. The film takes place in Spain, partly in Barcelona and there are beautiful sets and scenery.
The relationships in the film are complex. Two American girls spend July & August in Spain and meet up with an artist. Both of the girls find the artist attractive but only one is free enough to act on her attraction right away while the other is much more guarded.
The film is well done and well shot. It is sunny, vibrant and colorful. There is one thing that bothers me about this film though and I think I wanted more clarity. The end is a bit murky and I think it would have been better if the male character had shown some strength & had been more honest with the women. Just because you are blunt doesn't mean you are being honest.
