I first watched this movie in 2020 with English subtitles and absolutely loved it. I can't say it's THE reason I started learning Spanish, but it's one of six or seven reasons (along with Mexican food is good and half a billion people speak it).
It's a zany comedy that touches on some serious issues but keeps a light tone. It creates it's own colorful world, or maybe that's what Madrid's like, I couldn't tell you.
I've recently gotten to the point with my Spanish that I can follow along with a good chunk of native Youtube, so I thought now would be a good time to check back in with Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios.
Well, it seems like Youtube is quite a bit easier than movies. I couldn't understand much of this. But there is enough to take in visually for it to still be a solid watch. This will be a good film to check back in with later and see my progress.
