Wants to be a subtle, penetrating look at a group of 30-somethings and the lies they tell one another. Sometimes it achieves that aim. And sometimes 'more mature' just means 'duller.'

Disappointing and hollow.

...there was little in these characters that compelled me to like them [in "In the City"]

for the most part In the City leaves its characters just as we found them

The focus is squarely on the people, not any plot mechanics, and the result is a deeply internalised drama about the unspoken awkwardness in all relationships.

Shadows on the Wall

So blandly targeted at the upper-middle class urbanite that it always fails to excite. It might be upscale, but it's a bit stale.

Creo que esta pel�cula ha sido injustamente maltratada por los cr�ticos americanos, ya que para mi se trata del mejor film espa�ol de 2003 justo detr�s de Soldados de Salamina. Cesc Gay realiza un extraordinario retrato de un grupo de amigos de una gran ciudad, unos personajes con los que cualquiera se puede
