Good movie only some things I didn' t like!

It' s a good movie with historical events, showing how the things were in Spain during the period of 1937-1969 with dictatorship of Franco. A man was hiding from government for 30 years behind the walls of his house (as many others did) and we see how he and his family deal with it through the years... I have only one objection about the story which is obviously fictional based in true events but anyway I didn' t like it! The sex the couple had in times that you feel that in real life they wouldn't have the mood doing it!! For example in one scene the wife returns from the police in bad shape where they were asking her informations of where her husband is and we see that they didn' t do it politely to her, she was at least exhausted and they are having sex!! I generally like and enjoy seeing sex in movies, I don' t have a problem with that, but in my opinion in this particular movie with such a sensitive historic event they shouldn' t have so many sex scenes, or they could show a little with not so many details!!! I wanted to give a 7 for that reason, even a 6 (which for me is not good rate, I usually give 6 in movies I didn' t like and 7 that I liked a little bit but not much), but because is a good story and nice movie I give an 8... Other thing that is not about the plot but with the actor, and it has nothing to do with my rate but I wanted to mention is that always when I see in Spanish movies the actor Antonio de la Torre it makes me wonder if this is the only one they have? They don' t have other good actors?? In all good, important Spanish movies you see him!! And ok I don' t have a problem with him as an actor but it' s kind like boring seeing the same actor in all movies!!!
