Production
Written by Chloé Wallace and Diana Muro,[2] the screenplay is based on Teensspirit's Wattpad story Mala influencia, released in a physical format by Random House in 2021.[3] The film is a Nadie es Perfecto and N&L Films co-production.[4] Reportedly horrorized by the watching of Three Steps Above Heaven, Wallace did not want the character Eros to fully conform to hetero-cis-normativity.[1] Filming began in Valencia.[3] Shooting locations in the Valencia region also included the Ciudad de la Luz studio in Alicante.[1] Naiara performed the film's main theme "Mala influencia".[5]
Release
Distributed by Tripictures,[6] the film was released theatrically in Spain on 24 January 2025.[5][7]
Reception
Enid Román Almansa of Cinemanía rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, considering that while [the film is] not precisely set to revolution the genre, "Wallace's hand as director and screenwriter is noticeable, and appreciated and, above all, [the film] establishes a good starting point".[8]
Johnny Loftus of Decider.com wrote, that the film "has hotness and hunkiness going for it. What it doesn't have is much that kept us interested, beyond the sense of will-they-or-won’t-they excitement at its core".[9]
