Editorial Reviews

The new film from the director of Nico & Danni. In The City is an ensemble story of a group of thirty-something friends in Barcelona who have many secrets. While single Sofia lives a fantasy life of romance and unconscious lies, Tomas is having a secret affair with one of his students. Married Irene finds herself attracted to her friend Silvia. Although the friends spend much time together, they maintain their secrets and often fail to connect. One day, however, when they come together for a meal, emotions spill over . . . Director Cesc Gay’s idea for In the City came to him at a meal with friends: a private, secret look at a group of characters who have a number of emotional experiences they never talk about.....from that inspiration came this ensemble story of a group of thirty-something friends in Barcelona.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mild and laid-back movie about Barcelona couples, June 11, 2005

This review is from: In the City (DVD)

A laid-back, very relaxed, subdued movie, never jolting or over-dramatic. Maybe TOO relaxed. Not the worst choice of a movie for a rainy day, though best accompanied by a bottle of wine or, if you prefer, some other central nervous system depressant. Unfortunately, I consumed coffee. Instead of the MPAA rating, movies should just tell you what to eat and drink before watching.

Not much of moment really happens other than the indiscretions of several couples. I lost interest after an hour, but the thing just kept going on and on. A friend found it mildly interesting, so I listened off and on in the background, but nothing drew me back in. A yawner. No sexual/erotic/romantic fireworks.
