So, 'Not the Beach But It's Not That Bad' is this interesting little gem from 2020 that takes you on an unexpected ride through the mundane. Set against the backdrop of a deserted Madrid during school holidays, it captures that unique feeling of being left behind while everyone else is off enjoying sun-soaked trips. Guti and Saúl's plan to break into their own high school is a kind of rebellion against boredom, and it’s all played with a surprisingly light touch. The pacing gives it a relaxed vibe, allowing moments of genuine introspection amid the chaos. The performances are authentic, almost like you’re peeking into a slice of real teenage life. It’s not flashy, but there’s something satisfying in how it rebels against typical coming-of-age tropes.
