More Hellish than it is Heavenly, Agustín Díaz Yanes' black comedy about the Earthly duel between two angels doesn't have enough genuine laughs to support its far-fetched premise. Read critic reviews

The relative surrealistic element of the movie is what made it interesting. The rest was ok. I like it when Cruz doesn't play the pretty girl.

Victoria Abril and Penelope Cruz get sent by heaven and hell respectively, to win the soul of a sad, weak woman-beating loser. Apparently heaven is a bit like black & white Paris filmset and rather empty, and hell is like a giant multi-storey prison with lots more people in it, and there's a Checkpoint Charlie between the two to separate the good from the bad, but that could all change if the wrong side wins, so beware.

It's a Tarantinoesque telling of a good angel and a bad angel who fight for the soul of a boxer. I found it interesting and a bit weird, but overall i liked it.
