Es una pelĂcula que al principio me indignĂł mucho por todo el tema claramente patriarcal que querĂan mostrar de entrada, eso me hacĂa enfurecer, pero luego me dio algo de vergĂĽenza ajena. No sĂ© si disfrute de verla, se sintiĂł algo incĂłmoda por momentos. Se supone que es una comedia absurda que te hace reĂr de lo ridĂcula que es y sĂ lo logrĂł en algunas ocasiones, pero se me hizo muy absurda y surrealista en algunas partes. Aunque sĂ© que son situaciones llevadas al extremo que tambiĂ©n retratan una realidad que todavĂa se vive, por desgracia.
It’s a movie that really upset me at first because of the clearly patriarchal theme they wanted to showcase right from the start—that made me furious—but then I felt a bit of secondhand embarrassment. I’m not sure if I enjoyed watching it; it felt a bit uncomfortable at times. It’s supposed to be an absurd comedy that makes you laugh at how ridiculous it is, and it did manage to do that on some occasions, but I found it very absurd and surreal in some parts. Although I know these are situations taken to the extreme that also portray a reality that, unfortunately, is still being lived today.
Me llamaba la atenciĂłn verla por la actriz Rosamund Pike porque ella me agrada, no sabĂa muy bien con lo que me iba a encontrar, pero a veces me gusta descubrirlo sobre la marcha y sorprenderme. Por momentos la pelĂcula cobraba intensidad y se volvĂa interesante, y luego volvĂa a decaer. De todos modos, me gustĂł que se mostrará cĂłmo funcionaria el mundo si las cosas fueran al revĂ©s, es super interesante esa parte. Lo que pasa es que quedĂł como chiste. No es una pelĂcula para tomarla muy en serio o esa es la sensaciĂłn que me dejo.
I was drawn to it because of the actress Rosamund Pike—I really like her—and I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but sometimes I like to figure things out as I go along and let myself be surprised. At times, the movie picked up intensity and got interesting, and then it would fizzle out again. Anyway, I liked that it showed how the world would work if things were turned upside down—that part is super interesting. The thing is, it ended up feeling like a joke. It’s not a movie to take too seriously, or at least that’s the impression it left on me.

La idea estaba buena, pero fue ejecutada de una manera torpe y al estilo comedia más que nada, eso puede haberle quitado seriedad al asunto. Igual creo que se entiende el punto de querer retratar la realidad aunque sea de esta forma. Las actuaciones estuvieron bien, me gustĂł Ă©l, creo que se luciĂł bastante en su papel, y fue una de las razones por las que la continĂşe viendo hacia el final. QuerĂa saber cuál serĂa su prĂłximo movimiento.
The idea was good, but it was executed clumsily and in a comedic style, which may have taken away from the seriousness of the subject matter. Still, I think the point of wanting to portray reality—even in this way—comes across. The acting was good; I liked him—I think he really shone in his role—and that was one of the reasons I kept watching until the end. I wanted to know what his next move would be.
Igual, vuelvo a repetir, fue muy absurdo todo. Creo que me hizo reĂr de la locura que estaba viendo por momentos y sĂ, tambiĂ©n me incomodo en algunos aspectos. Pero creo que para proporcionarle otra mirada al eje central está okey. Por mĂ parte siento que pasĂł sin pena ni gloria, no será una pelĂcula que quiera volver a ver.
Anyway, I’ll say it again: the whole thing was pretty absurd. I think it made me laugh because of how crazy it was at times, and yes, it also made me uncomfortable in some ways. But I think it’s okay as a way to offer a different perspective on the central theme. As for me, I feel like it came and went without much fanfare; it’s not a movie I’d want to watch again.
