The original title for this is "let no one sleep". It is ironic, because the movie is a true boredom fest all its first half. In fact, it was very hard not to fell aesleep.
It is kind of a Spanish take on cinema verite, but less artsy and more dull, extremely slow and boring. Overall, it is something like a documentary, with regular to ugly people just talking and doing their everyday stuff.
The performance of the main character is remarkable, largely the best of the movie. She is very natural and credible and the only good point of this horrible movie.
Sure, some 'artists' could consider this movie some kind of 'art' and feel excited by the 'reality', the slow pace and so on. I do not see the point of exploring a movie style the French explored already decades ago. All in this movie feels outdated: the style, the credits, the story... To me, this is not art; instead, it is just a hard to watch movie due to the uninspired dialogues, uber-boring story, uninteresting characters and disgusting moments.
Only recommended if you have insomnia. It is a plain BAD movie.
