New to stream on Netflix from today is the Spanish romance drama, Through My Window: Looking at You (aka A través de tu mirada). Directed by Marçal Forés, and starring Clara Galle and Julio Peña, Through My Window: Looking at You is the sequel to the terrible Through My Window (2022), and the equally dire Through My Window: Across the Sea (2023), so prepare yourself for more misjudged trash masquerading as entertainment.
*Sigh*
Picking up after the events of Through My Window: Across the Sea, on/off lovers Raquel and Ares are firmly in relationships and living separate lives. However, Raquel can’t get Ares off her mind, and not only has she written a book about Ares, she also fantasises about having sex with him.
Despite Raquel’s obvious infatuation with Ares, her new boyfriend is oblivious to it all. So much so, he believes she has moved on with her life and invites Ares and his girlfriend over for Christmas dinner.
But it’s not just Raquel who is still hung up on Ares, Ares still carries a torch for her. And when they begin to encounter problems in their respective relationships, the pair are soon back together… bonking in secret.
If I hadn’t made it clear in my reviews of the two previous Through My Window movies, I’m not a fan of this film series. I feel these movies are badly written dreck, filled with awful characters, and held together with the promise of some mild titillation.
As far as I’m concerned, these films are crap of the highest order and I’m still not entirely sure how this series made it beyond one instalment. However, someone must like them (or at least, Netflix thinks they do) and here we are with film No. 3 which I am forcing my eyeballs to view.
And while I will always judge each entry on its own individual merits, meaning this film gets a fair crack at the whip, it’s still business as usual I’m afraid. Through My Window: Looking at You is utter tosh, and once again offers up nothing of any value.
For those not planning on watching the film (because you have better things to do with your time), the general thrust of the movie goes like this: Moody, moody, moody, boobs, moody, moody, moody, shagging. Brief happiness, some upset, lots of dull bits, moody, moody, moody.
There is also some drugs, a near drowning, and about five seconds of implied suspense which suggests something tragic might happen. Plot spoiler, it doesn’t.
How is anyone supposed to have a good time with this movie? How is anyone supposed to care or become invested in the lives of the central characters?
There’s nothing interesting in this picture, and there’s certainly no one likeable. Ares continues to treat Raquel badly, she continues to act like a door mat, and their relationship continues to be toxic.
These two characters shouldn’t be together. No one should be watching this film. Arrrgggghhhh make it stop!
I could say this third entry is on the same level of awfulness as the previous two films, but I actually believe it’s a fraction worse. Through My Window: Looking at You is mind numbingly dull, it feels padded beyond belief, and the story is poor and largely non-existent.
Yes, Ares is still a fox; yes, Raquel is cute; but this is all the movie has to offer. The romance is forced (if you can even call it romance), and the whole thing is very tiresome.
Should you watch it? No, are you crazy? Go watch something else.
In keeping with the rest of this turgid movie series, Through My Window: Looking at You is complete shite. It tries to convince the audience there is something of value in the connection between Raquel and Ares, but there really isn’t.
I say this with the utmost conviction, don’t waste any of your time on this film. If you want to experience the general gist of this movie without having to watch it, simply have a wank, then think about something depressing.
That’s all you need do. Get all that done in a couple of minutes and you’ve just had a much better time than sitting through 100 minutes of Through My Window: Looking at You.
As far as I’m aware, this is the final entry in the series, with no further sequels planned, but in reality, I’m sure this rubbish could be strung out even further if the powers that be see fit. However, let’s remain hopeful this is truly the end, so that I don’t have to go through all this again in another 365 days.
