It is the story of the 1st Same sex marriage recorded in the Spain. Well, I am not reviewing here about LGBT community but more likely the technical or should I say my impression on the movie as i watch it til the end (note: I fell asleep in this movie around 10 mins I guess). My first thought in opening scene is like i am watching a Black and white Dolce and Gabbana or any beauty commercial we see in ads. Acting is bearable but not compelling enough to push the story. There is a scene that I laughed for being cringy. Since I watched it in English audio, i will not give impression on the screenplay cause there is a chance that it might be good in its native dialect.. Story is predictable, I know it biography but there no wow factor it. Well, if it is advisable to watch? hmm try it, but not suggested. This film want to prove a point yet managed to deliver less. LGBT message is not just rating factor here its about total package no offense to other reviewer/critique

Elisa & Marcela is a beautifully shot piece of cinema. Each frame of nearly every shot looks like it could be framed, and hung up on display in a museum. The representation of being queer can be problematic at times. Some of the shots imply that Elisa and Marcela's relationship is disgusting. Two of these are cut away shots of a dead squid; and a third shot involving the corpse of a squid being used in a sexual act. The three sex scenes throughout the film felt like as if I were watching a porno, and dragged out for far too long. Throughout these segments in the film, it felt like the movie was catering more to the "horny male demographic" rather then tell the story of Marcela and Elisa. The movie has this atmosphere that makes you feel like our two main leads shouldn't be romantically involved together in any capacity what so ever. The prejudice Elisa and Marcela experienced was very well executed, and is very relatable for many LGBTQ+ individuals living in countries where homosexuality is outlawed. Even today. The pacing of the film is pretty slow but it does allow us (the audience) to form a connection with Elisa and Marcela. The performances of the two women playing Elisa and Marcela were pretty solid. For me as a bisexual man, this film isn't the best representation of homosexuality in film, but deep down inside, you'll find a very powerful and engaging story.
