Madrid, 1987 is a two-character story that deals with discourses on writing, journalism, aging, and politics. Mostly shot within a very constricted space, the story follows an older, celebrated journalist Miguel. He meets the beautiful and coy journalism student Angela to give an interview but becomes intent upon seducing her.

The Hollywood Reporter by John DeFore
An engrossing two-hander combining the smart-talk microcosm of "My Dinner With Andre" and the sexual dynamics of a Philip Roth novel, David Trueba's Madrid, 1987 is more universal than its title suggests and holds a strong art house appeal.
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.
Miami Herald by Rene Rodriguez
Madrid, 1987 operates on a dizzying number of levels - as a romantic comedy, a sex farce, a study of culture clash, ageism and idealism - and the highest compliment you can give this ridiculously talky movie (which plays better if you speak Spanish) is that you're a little sad to see the characters go on their way once they part, probably forever.
