This witty meta-comedy from Jonás Trueba is a refreshing take on the messy complexities of breaking up. 

The latest film from Spanish auteur Jonás Trueba is a witty and subversive meta-comedy about a couple who decide that separations are just as worthy of celebration as unions. After 14 years together, Ale and Alex agree to amicably part ways, but not before hosting a big party to celebrate the ending of their relationship. Like a wedding, but the other way around. As they share the news with family and friends, what starts as an optimistic and unconventional plan quickly proves more difficult than anticipated. This anti-romantic comedy is a refreshing take on the messy complexities of breaking up. 

"In posing substantive questions about the nature of romance and relationships, it’s smarter than virtually any American studio romantic comedy of recent years." - Adam Solomons, indieWire
