About This Movie

Cuando brillan las estrellas (2018) offers a whimsical look at love through the lens of nostalgia. Lucas, played with a subtle charm, is a crossword puzzle aficionado whose life feels a bit stagnant, especially when compared to his friend Santiago's lackluster dating escapades. The film creates a warm atmosphere, blending comedy and romance in a way that feels organic and relatable. The pacing allows for moments of reflection, as Lucas navigates his memories of Ana, who represents a lost opportunity. Practical effects are minimal, focusing instead on character-driven storytelling. There's a certain softness in the performances, which adds to the film's intimacy, making it a rather engaging exploration of longing and connection.
