Wednesdays Don't Exist

Wednesdays Don't Exist (Los miércoles no existen) is a 2015 Spanish-Venezuelan romantic musical comedy-drama film written and directed by Peris Romano which stars Eduardo Noriega, Inma Cuesta, Gorka Otxoa, Alexandra Jiménez, Andrea Duro, and William Miller alongside María León.

Plot
Set in Madrid from 2010 to 2014, the plot follows the romantic tribulations and pursuits of a group of thirty-somethings.

Production
Originally conceived as a film screenplay, the script first took instead the form of a stage play after it did not find a producer. Upon the play's success, the script became a feature film, featuring returning actors William Miller and Gorka Otxoa. The film is a Spanish-Venezuelan co-production by José Frade PC and Garra Producciones, and it had the participation of TVE and Movistar+. It was shot in Madrid in late 2014.

Release
Distributed by eOne Films Spain, the film was released theatrically in Spain on 16 October 2015.

Reception
Javier Ocaña of El País assessed that Romano's "elegant mise-en-scène" and his proven ability to compose sentimental dilemmas "full of humor", lead the film to a "general sympathy", unevenness of the situations notwithstanding.

Andrea G. Bermejo of Cinemanía rated Wednesdays Don't Exist—"a film about relations following the likes of Closer, In the City and The Other Side of the Bed"—3 out of 5 stars, pointing out that it is not a comedy even if the trailer pretends to convince viewers otherwise.
