It's a very captivating film by Trapero about the emotional bonds of a dysfunctional family. [Full review in Spanish]

A soap opera on the surface, it takes a while for The Quietude to rise above its plot of rich, unfaithful couples, random sex and sullen, unspoken grudges. When it does, it becomes a story of big lies that metastasize.

One problem with having so many skeletons in the family closet is that skeletons all tend to look the same.

This outing simply tries to cram too much well-acted bad behaviour into closed spaces.

Gorgeously composed and with an evocative score by Papamusic, this film is a real treat for the senses. It may fundamentally be a soap opera but it's a supremely classy one.
