“A journey to a chaotic and beautiful city, encompassing its strife and anguish, hopes and joys”.
Rocío García, EL PAÍS

“Tales of daily struggles, resistance and pride, and as the song says A ella le duele (She’s hurting), but she keeps on singing”.
Iratxe Fresneda, GARA

“It speaks of the passage of time, life and death and what we revive through collective memory (…) and it does this with honesty, tough-mindedness and an endearing sense of humour”.
Paula Echeverría, NOTICIAS DE GIPUZKOA

“A fascinating story of discrimination and abuse at its core”.
Fionnuala Halligan, SCREENDAILY

“Después de Lucía is one of the best films about bullying ever made”.
Harkaitz Cano, DIARIO VASCO

“The moment when the artist explains the grandeur of an idea, trapped in a Rembrandt painting, about a child's first steps is, probably, the most lucid and moving explanation of the miracle and emotion of art”.
Oti Rodríguez Marchante, ABC

“It is difficult to create so much with so little. It is the grandeur of something small".
Gontzal Agote, BERRIA

“It offers timely reflections about the loss of innocence in the face of the inexorable reality that is death, while vindicating the triumph of art over the tragedies of war”.
Antón Merikaetxebarria, EL CORREO

“Everything in the film is perfectly measured and controlled, avoiding both exaggerated gestures and empty silences”.
Luis Martínez, EL MUNDO

“There is much that fascinates me about this unorthodox and profound film. It is exquisitely written by Carriére and Trueba, displaying intelligence, heart and love, with a staggered rhythm that serves the narrative superbly, suffused by intimations of joy and sorrow”.
Carlos Boyero, EL PAÍS

“Trueba delivers an exquisitely crafted reflection on the big three - life, death and art - in El Artista y la Modelo”.
Fionnuala Halligan, SCREENDAILY

“This is certainly a solid and well-made film”.
Gontzal Agote, BERRIA

“Cantet showcases all of his talent and irascibility here, as well as his capacity for lyricism and his poetic sensibility”.
Antón Merikaetxebarria, EL CORREO

“Beautiful”.
Carlos Pumares, LA RAZÓN

“A vibrant portrait of life and emotions which, in its determination to avoid facile tear-jerking and cheap laughs, resembles other audacious films such as Julian Schnabel's excellent The Diving Bell and the Butterfly”.
Koldo Landaluze, GARA

“The precise blend of high comedy and melodrama make this film an extremely pleasant surprise”.
P. Vallín, LA VANGUARDIA

“Zuloak is spectacular, innovative, powerful, brave, extraordinary and, most importantly: it is true. In one word, amazing”.
Beñat Eizagirre Indo, BERRIA
