The final result is a curiosity, sure, but a cute, quick-witted one, with much (maybe too much) on its mind.

Science and romance collide when a physicist falls in love with a model. Manel's in deep with Elena, but his neurotic tendencies and fascination with the laws of thermodynamics get in the way of his courtship. He won't let his nerdiness stop him from getting the girl of his dreams, though.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
The Hollywood Reporter by Jonathan Holland
Though it is intermittently witty, visually playful and laudable in its attempt to appeal to both head and heart, Laws abandons its characters to its big concept.
Los Angeles Times by Robert Abele
Though sleekly photogenic in its depiction of cosmopolitan Europeans in permanent romantic neurosis, The Laws of Thermodynamics is better in theory than fact.
Writer-director Mateo Sanz exhausts us with all these academics, shortchanging the development of on-screen relationships thanks to endless voice-over (and on-camera) analysis.
