Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
The actors give their characters a resonance beyond the symbolic, but the action doesn't quite transcend the stagy setup.

Los Angeles Times
Miguel uses her beauty and placid demeanor as a screen against which to project his memories of past adventures and the ghost of his libido.

Time Out
Seldom has a great film accomplished so much with so little. Well, that's if you consider an insanely quotable screenplay so little.

GreenCine
A perceptive, ultra-wordy stab at catching the zeitgeist at a time of change in Spain, David Trueba's two-hander nonetheless feels like a working-out of social and personal themes that hasn't quite achieved the full leap from page to film.

Variety
A stillborn May-November seduction makes for sexual tension and fascinating dialogue.

Madrid, 1987 operates on a dizzying number of levels - as a romantic comedy, a sex farce, a study of culture clash, ageism and idealism.

A sweet, sometimes dull and certainly overlong film ...

Description by OLDIES.com:
Madrid 1987 On a hot summer day in an empty Madrid, during a time of social and political transition in Spain, Miguel (Jose Sacristan), a feared and respected journalist, sets up a meeting with Angela (Maria Valverde), a young journalism student. His intentions are clearly sexual, but hers are less clear. A series of events force them to stay together for more time than they would have chosen: locked in a bathroom, naked, without the possibility of escape. Removed from the outside world, the two, who represent polarizing generations, are trapped in an uneven balance involving age, intellect, ambition and experience. The political and social context of the period provides the background to the power shifts that continually take place between them over twenty-four hours.
