Nice and nutty comedy starred by two queens of the Spanish comedy : Verònica Forqué and Rosa Maria Sardá whom is dedicated the film, along with two new stars in the recent cinema : Ingrid Garcia Jonsson and David Verdaguer . Funny and diverting Spanish romantic comedy with crazy events , amusement and absurd situations that follow the politically correct style . This entertaining film packs amusement , comical situations , tongue-in-cheek , surrealist comedy including conventional pitfalls and anything else . Sitting in a strange middle ground between the completely absurd and the stylishly cool . This is another Spanish comedy romp , a bemusing story that contains lots of humor , entertainment , brief drama and involving a peculiar homosexual wedding . This is a slightly fun film with outlandish events , giggles , emotion , profanities , twists and love stories . The film moves in fits and starts most of which would be desirable , with more traps the viewer resists any kind , and some moments of enjoyment and others quite a few ridiculous . Humor is sometimes cheesy and gross-out with some naughty and picaresque situations . This is a special Spanish comedy from the 2010s with the usual ingredients such as wild humor topped with a little bit of original touches here and there and the tone of the film is light-hearted . It's an agreeable , moving film , adequately acted and concerning the narration about the relationship among family members , fiancée , fiancés , and brides . This is a typical and contemporary Spanish comedy in which characters are quite odd , grotesque and weird and the film races on at incredible speed . The film displays all kinds of ordinary stereotypes , resulting in an agreeable comedy , with an enjoyable message about the real importance of a good but dysfunctional family . On the surface, this ¨Salir del ropero¨ follows the wake of other similar movies about dysfunctional families and offbeat weddings , such as : ¨Señor, dame paciencia¨, ¨Hasta que la boda nos separe ¨ , ¨Tres Bodas de más¨ , ¨Bajo el mismo techo¨ , ¨En mejor verano de mi vida¨ , among others . Doesn't get much wrong , it looks okay , the comedy misunderstandings pile up in a reasonably amusing fashion and performance is acceptable . Stars two veteran , recently deceased actresses : Rosa Maria Sardà and Verónica Forqué who unfortunately committed suicide due to depression and two successful newcomers : Ingrid García Jonsson and David Verdaguer. And a lot of charming secondaries , such as : Candela Peña , Mónica López , Pol Monen , Alex O'Dogherty , Leander Vyvey , among others .
In ¨So My Grandma's a Lesbian!¨ stands out the evocative and colorful cinematography by José Luis Luis Alcaine who is deemed to be one of the best Spanish cameramen with a long and prestigious artistic career and Almodovar's ordinary cameraman , he has photographed successes such as ¨Volver¨ , ¨The bad education¨ , ¨The skin I live in¨ , and ¨Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown¨ . Along with the lively , sensitive and catching musical score by composer Lucal Vidal , a notorious musician who has composed various international productions . The motion picture was decently directed by Ángeles Reiné in her film debut . Getting Nominations in Almería International Short Film Festival 2020 Nominee Best First Film and ASECAN 2021 Nominee Award Best Supporting Actor Alex O'Dogherty.
