Plot

Set in Madrid from 2010 to 2014, the plot follows the romantic tribulations and pursuits of a group of thirty-somethings.[2][3][4]

Cast

Production

Originally conceived as a film screenplay, the script first took instead the form of a stage play after it did not find a producer.[3] Upon the play's success, the script became a feature film, featuring returning actors William Miller and Gorka Otxoa.[6] The film is a Spanish-Venezuelan co-production by José Frade PC and Garra Producciones,[7] and it had the participation of TVE and Movistar+.[8] It was shot in Madrid in late 2014.[3]

Release

Distributed by eOne Films Spain,[8] the film was released theatrically in Spain on 16 October 2015.

Reception

Javier Ocaña of El País assessed that Romano's "elegant mise-en-scène" and his proven ability to compose sentimental dilemmas "full of humor", lead the film to a "general sympathy", unevenness of the situations notwithstanding.[4]

Andrea G. Bermejo of Cinemanía rated Wednesdays Don't Exist—"a film about relations following the likes of Closer, In the City and The Other Side of the Bed"—3 out of 5 stars, pointing out that it is not a comedy even if the trailer pretends to convince viewers otherwise.[9]
