Perhaps only a filmmaker from a country steeped in Catholicism could turn out a consistently sharp and profane "divine comedy" (the title means "blessed hell") that is also, for the most part, theologically correct.

A stylish comedy low on amusement but high on sensuality.

This movie is good, it's a simple and beautiful story that is easy to understand. The music is perfect. The event turned out to be very interesting

Penelope Cruz was young in the 2000s when this movie was made. I like watching her movies. Watching the trailer of this movie, I thought it was a good movie with many events that touched the hearts of the audience. I thought it would be a well-made, well-directed, well-made film.

It's hard to care even just a little when you have no idea what's at stake or why, be it Heaven or Hell.

What starts as a fairly lighthearted satire ends in a tiresome, ultra-violent shootout -- and the film pretty much throws away the possibilities of Cruz's gender-bending role.

This must all make sense to Yanes, somehow, but the film plays like a private joke with no punchline.

What ensues is so glum and disjointed that the film becomes an even bigger mess.

Imagines Heaven and Hell as places so deeply mired in the business-as-usual hassles of earthly life that the battle between good and evil becomes a downright dull affair.
