The Diary of Carlota Trailers

17-year-old Carlota is in love with an athlete named Oriol but discovers sex with Sergio, every mother's ideal son-in-law. Carlota is in big trouble but neither her parents (who are separating) nor her best friends (Elisa and Mirea) can help her. Among other reasons, because Elisa disguises herself as a boy so she can get close to Lucas, who she is madly in love with, and because Mirea intends to seduce young Oriol, thus betraying her best friend.

Reviews
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Keith Bolton I saw this film because I was looking for representations of teenagers in Spanish cinema. The storyline sounds promising but unfortunately the main character is so rude (imagine Annie after taking drugs!) that after a few minutes you don't care what's going to happen to her. This film is so boring I had to force myself to finish it. I have seen many Spanish movies but I didn't know any of these actors, I wonder if they are professional or amateurs. The acting is ridiculous, the dialogues don't make sense and the shots are awful and completely atrocious. Waste of time. It is not a good example of contemporary Spanish cinema. I have recently seen some films (mainly comedies) of this period and genre, and this is the worst of them all.
joysette Saw this at the Chicago Latino Film Festival and it's worth a watch. Carlota breaks up with her boyfriend and decides to start a diary/manual as she tries to clear her head about love, relationships, and sex. The movie offers plenty of laughs and sweet moments, though it does sort of lose a bit of steam about halfway through.My biggest criticism is that though it was Carlota's diary, the movie was also trying to include subplots of her two best friends that didn't quite get enough attention. I would have liked to see a little bit more about the surrounding events.All in all, this was a sweet and entertaining film.
