While the cinematography and the locations are at times breathtaking and some techniques applied and themes explored are quite inspired, La Gomera suffers a lot from a pretentious narrative, plot contrivances, convoluted structure and cardboard characters.
At times it feels like the filmmakers just saw something in a 10 minute TV documentary and decided to put it into their film to the point that even the supposed central feature just becomes an after thought.
Not exactly bad, just not as good as I had hoped it to be. Maybe I'm just too dumb to get it.

The editor of this movie probably feel asleep during his shifts. What's up with the cuts in this?!

**Un’attenta commistione di generi e citazioni, una regia dinamica ed esplosiva,un cast in partissima ed uno script chiaro nei suoi mille intrighi, rendono questa pellicola non solo una perla vera in questo festival,ma una solida dimostrazione che il cinema europeo riesce a sprigionare creatività e brio anche quando si presta a generi visti e stravisti nel panorama nostrano e non. Quasi capolavor.

ROMANIAN FILM FESTIVAL IN LONDON 2019

Sadly this is the only RFF film I’ll be seeing but I very much enjoyed it, I loved all the references from Psycho to the Big Sleep.

The whole film just does so well with exploring colours, like the production design must’ve taken hours with those colours and detail.

This was just a fun watch with a lot of twists and Gilda was definitely my favourite amongst the other characters.
