Daniel, a gay accountant approaching middle age who lives more than a comfortable existence, does not begrudge the large influx of immigrants, many refugees, coming to his homeland Spain in search of a better life, and they doing whatever they need to in their adopted home to eke out that better life. He also is willing to do his small part in that help if he can. He may be able to kill two birds with one stone when he meets one of those refugees, a younger Bulgarian named Kyril who is physically exactly his type. Kyril is up front that he is penniless and has a girlfriend, Kalina, back home in Bulgaria that he loves. Regardless, Daniel and Kyril begin a sexual relationship, it developing into love of different forms on both sides. While Daniel's love is more traditional, Kyril truly loves Daniel as much as a straight man can love another man, partly in all that Daniel can do and ends up doing for him, such as helping him with his immigration. Daniel has to decide how much he can trust Kyril, who he really does not know in their time apart, with Kyril increasingly asking him to do things largely without question that seem somewhat shady, especially as Kyril seems all of a sudden to have all the bells and whistles of comfort, such as a fancy car and expensive jewelry. Things get even more complicated when after Daniel is able to straighten out Kyril's immigration, Kalina too is able to make her way to Spain, Daniel as such seeming to need to date her in dating Kyril, she who knows all about Daniel in Kyril's life.
Leave your thoughts about Bulgarian Lovers.
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckUltimately suffers from an overabundance of plot and a paucity of depth, but it does provide some fleeting comic pleasures along the way. |
| Dallas Morning NewsCharles EalyShows that Mr. De la Iglesia's long absence hasn't dulled his sense of stylish, cinematic storytelling. |
| New York PostMegan LehmannThe gay sex scenes that punctuate Eloy de la Iglesia's limp Spanish comedy, Bulgarian Lovers, are frequent and graphic, and it often seems as if the lackluster story exists solely to showcase them. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekGarish, frenetic, but curiously dull...suffers from a serious case of the cutes, a disease that in this case proves fatal. |
| Detroit Free PressJohn MonaghanSlightly better than some recent skin-deep gay- and lesbian-themed movies. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohHas a verbal wit and tang to it, which set it quite above most gay film fare in literary terms. |
| San Francisco ChronicleJoe BrownWell acted, and its Faustian dynamic of mutual exploitation would be absorbing enough, but as Kyril draws Daniel into ever shadier situations, the film loses its tone and devolves into absurd political farce. |
| User ReviewCeph JA blend of comedy, thriller, and love story. The love story is what I liked best since Dritan Biba (Kyrl) is gorgeous and Fernando Guillen Cuervo (Daniel) is well cast as the empathetic older man. It's believable that Biba is bisexual given his roots and that Cuervo is seeking younger men from Bulgaria as a challenge. The comedy is provided by Biba's overweight friends especially Gildo (well played by Pepon Nieto). When Kyrl says that there's 3 people he's loved. Nieto whispers "These 3 people took care of him." Another funny line is when Cuervo confesses "I'd give my life to you" and Biba replies, matter of factly, "I'd also give YOUR life to ME." Some of the humor is too forced though. The director Eloy de la Iglesia has some weird shots which are distracting to the drama so the comedy and drama don't really mesh. The movie ends like a thriller but the plot is convoluted. What I really liked about the movie was showing Bulgarians (immigrants) trying to make Madrid their new home. The wedding sequence was very entertaining. The movie ends well, depending on your perspective, with an "All About Eve" finale. |
