La historia gira en torno a una feliz pareja que está a punto de casarse y que días antes, en un juego de confesiones con amigos, uno de ellos se entera de algo que le hace cambiar su visión acerca de la persona con la que se va a casar, esto trae bastante drama a la relación y pone en peligro la tan esperada boda.

The story revolves around a happy couple who are about to get married. A few days before the wedding, during a game of truth or dare with friends, one of them learns something that changes their view of the person they are about to marry. This causes a lot of drama in the relationship and puts the long-awaited wedding in jeopardy.

Es una película que quería ver porque me daba curiosidad la trama y cómo iba a funcionar esta dupla de actores. La verdad es que me resultó bastante entretenida y me encontré riendo en momentos incómodos. Es una película que logra transmitir muy bien la confusión y el caos de una boda. Si bien es un día muy especial y cargado de emociones, también puede ser todo lo contrario y convertirse en tu peor pesadilla.

I wanted to see this movie because I was curious about the plot and how this acting duo would work together. To be honest, I found it quite entertaining and caught myself laughing during some awkward moments. It’s a movie that does a great job of capturing the confusion and chaos of a wedding. While it’s supposed to be a very special day full of emotions, it can also turn out to be the exact opposite and become your worst nightmare.

La trama me pareció muy pertinente a los tiempos que corren, ya que se nombra los tiroteos y masacres escolares como el eje del conflicto principal en la pareja, y aparece la idea fija de lo que uno sería capaz de perdonar, o no. También está la obsesión acerca del tema y cómo todo empieza a ir mal en la relación. Además de los invitados que se empiezan a bajar de la boda, las fotografías que ya no son tan perfectas, las sonrisas que ya no se pueden disimular, y todo lo que podría salir mal, lo hace.

I found the plot very relevant to the times we live in, as it highlights school shootings and massacres as the central source of conflict in the couple’s relationship, and explores the nagging question of what one might—or might not—be capable of forgiving. There’s also the obsession with the subject and how everything starts to go wrong in the relationship. In addition to the guests who start backing out of the wedding, the photos that aren’t so perfect anymore, the smiles that can no longer be hidden, and everything that could go wrong—does.

Pero al final siento que es como una prueba, como lo que expresé más arriba, ¿qué serías capaz de perdonarle a la persona que amas? Creo que la película nos muestra que ninguno es perfecto y aunque la cámara esté puesta en una persona, el otro tampoco es tan santo. Solo nos horrorizamos por lo que no es nuestro y no vemos los fantasmas bajo la alfombra que queremos tapar. Sin duda, me hizo reflexionar bastante acerca de esto.

But in the end, I feel like it’s a test—as I mentioned earlier—of what you’d be willing to forgive in the person you love. I think the film shows us that nobody is perfect, and even though the camera focuses on one person, the other isn’t exactly a saint either. We’re only horrified by what doesn’t concern us, and we don’t see the skeletons in the closet that we want to sweep under the rug. It certainly made me think a lot about this.

Por momentos es algo confusa, ya que alterna escenas reales con imaginaciones de los personajes y algunos flashback del pasado. Pero me encantó como estuvo armado, la dirección fue increíble, me pareció muy acertado todo lo que quisieron mostrar. En algún punto sentí que no sabía qué era verdad y que no. De hecho, imaginé que todo era una actuación o que quizás Emma tenía algún trastorno de esos que te hacen mentir y creerte tus propias mentiras. Todavía no estoy convencida del todo acerca de lo que paso realmente, creo que el film habilita esa duda.

At times it’s a bit confusing, since it alternates between real scenes, the characters’ imaginings, and some flashbacks to the past. But I loved how it was put together; the direction was incredible, and I thought everything they chose to show was spot-on. At some point, I felt like I didn’t know what was real and what wasn’t. In fact, I imagined that it was all an act or that maybe Emma had some kind of disorder that makes you lie and believe your own lies. I’m still not entirely convinced about what really happened; I think the film leaves room for that doubt.

Aun así, siento que hay cosas que quedaron un poco en el aire. Pero en líneas generales, es una buena película para ver. Una vez más queda demostrado que casarse puede ser un drama y que siempre habrá un roto para un descosido, dos personas que se entiendan a pesar de todo. Y, también es una especie de prueba final, si son capaces de sobrevivir a la boda es porque vale la pena seguir apostando a ese amor, a pesar de las dudas y los conflictos que puedan surgir. La recomiendo. Es algo atípica, pero funciona bien a mí parecer.

Even so, I feel like some things were left a little up in the air. But overall, it’s a good movie to watch. Once again, it proves that getting married can be a drama and that there’s always a perfect match out there—two people who understand each other despite everything. And it’s also a kind of final test: if they can survive the wedding, it means that love is worth fighting for, despite any doubts or conflicts that may arise. I recommend it. It’s a bit unconventional, but it works well, in my opinion.
