I had never heard of this movie before I saw it in the Redbox and I'm glad I rented it. I have seen far worse I assure you. I thought this movie was just great. I love crime/mysteries, and romances and this one was a perfect mixture of the two. It is definitely worth a watch, especially considering how closely it is based on the true story of Kathie and Robert Durst. The writers had been researching the case since 2005 according to the NY Times. It is a shame it received such little publicity and only opened on TWO screens opening weekend?! And with such big stars with the leading roles, which they performed excellently in my opinion. Just when you think the movie is over...then it really starts to get good.

I guess I'm just a sucker for a sappy romance, period piece combination. The whole movie is beautiful to look at even if you have to rewind a few times to understand what is being said because they are in Spain speaking English. I do not understand why this movie received such little publicity. I had never heard of it before I saw it in the Redbox, and I'm glad I rented it. I'm not trying to spoil the movie for you, but be warned the life of a Matadors mistress is a stressful one. ha The whole movie centers around the romance between the Matador and his mistress. She is his mistress, but not because he is married to another woman. You will understand once you watch the movie. Anyway to sum up, if you hate somewhat historical, sappy romances don't watch this one.
