Review of 18 Meals

First things first. The movie is bad, really bad. Bad music, full of clichés, bad dialogue. It may only be saved for being a kind of documentary on ordinary (very ordinary) Spain and for the acting which is superb overall. But the movie is really bad. With a script made out of 5 stories so small and ordinary that don't deserve being told in a movie theater. I don't know if naturalism has a place in cinema when this mediocrity has the capacity of draining the soul out of your bones. If you're a sociologist interested in the most simple and boring Spain this movie may be for you. If you're a simple and boring Spaniard this movie may be for you. If you're a human being with interesting things to do or say, please, don't watch this movie. It will only make you stupid.
