“The film, far from obsessing over the military badges of the soldiers and the deadly blades of their swords, portrays, in a gloriously gritty style (...) the great satellite city, which moves in unison with the retreating army; a travelling city inhabited by prostitutes and merchants, cooks and quacks. In doing so, it displays the most exquisite mastery of drama, narrative and composition”.
Begoña del Teso, DIARIO VASCO

“A vibrant film that is both fun and intelligent and which, in making the transition from theatre to the big screen, manages to preserve the seductive power of the written word intact”.
Juan Zapater, DEIA

“A thought-provoking film which invites us to observe a game that is as delighting as it is stimulating”.
Mikel G. Gurpegui, DIARIO VASCO

“A film that exudes brilliance”.
Luís Martínez, EL MUNDO

“A vitriolic brain-teaser with shades of Polanski at the peak of his powers”.
Pedro Vallín, LA VANGUARDIA

“Sacristán delivers an arresting performance of great depth and bears all for the viewer (both literally and figuratively)”.
Luís Martínez, EL MUNDO

“Rebollo (…) introduces incoherencies between what we see and what we are told, and adds to these a smattering of intermittent anticlimaxes. This game creates a new discourse about that legendary journey upon which the twilight hero embarked. It is an argument about what one sees and what one hears, full of ambiguities”.
Pedro Vallín, LA VANGUARDIA

“A lugubrious road-movie following a terminally-ill hitman over thousands of miles through Argentina, El Muerto y Ser Feliz requires audiences willing to embrace its Patagonia-dry gallows humor”.
Neil Young, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“Attention: this is a Serbian film: contains Balkan rage and uneasiness”.
Begoña del Teso, DIARIO VASCO

“It makes you shed tears that, far from being tears of despair, are clean, soft tears; the type of teardrops that comfort us when they fall”.
Begoña del Teso, DIARIO VASCO

“Backgrounds are lush and colorful in the style of 19th century French landscape painting - more Manet than Monet”.
Neil Young, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“It achieves a healthy balance between drama and comedy, and is theoretically influenced by the marvellously distorted perception that each child possesses”.
Víctor Esquirol, GARA

“The values of solidarity, commitment and friendship are championed above all else”.
I.P. Chavarri, EL PAÍS

“We like our blood-stained dialogues to be intelligent”.
Begoña del Teso, DIARIO VASCO
