“Enjoyable, aesthetically pleasing, tender. One of those films that leaves you with a smile on your face.”

Beñat Eizagirre Indo, BERRIA

“An unusual film. Undoutedly interesting and surprising.”

Beñat Eizagirre Indo, BERRIA

“Performances are solid across the board, with the actors discovering nuance even when screen time is short.”

Jonathan Holland, Hollywood Reporter

“The best thing about this film is the stunning performance from Marián Álvarez.”

Oti Rodríguez, ABC

“Marián Álvarez (…) gives a magnificent performance as a wretched, vulnerable woman.”

Angel Aldarondo, BERRIA

“Extraordinary performance from the leading actress, Marián Álvarez”.

Urtzi Urkizu, BERRIA

“Outstanding, truly sensational performance from Spanish actress Marián Alvárez in La herida. She puts her heart and soul into her role as a self-destructive woman, creating a wholly believable character.”

Anton Merikaetxebarria, EL CORREO

“Skilfully conveys piercing sensations.”

Mikel G. Gurpegui, EL DIARIO VASCO

“Plumbs the depths of the illness in all of its complexity and manages to paint a portrait not only of evil but (…) of life itself. Life as the wound it is. And all this with a naked, brutal honesty.”

L. Martínez, EL MUNDO

“Excellent performance from Marián Álvarez.”

Carlos Boyero, EL PAÍS

“Marián Álvarez, who looks set to win the Silver Shell for Best Actress, dominates the entire film.”

C. D. C., LA RAZÓN

“Extremely powerful sensorial bomb with an extraordinary scope (…) spectacular sound and even more spectacular visual effects.”

Víctor Esquirol, GARA

“The treatment of sound is excellent.”

Urtzi Urkizu, BERRIA

“The film proceeds from scene to scene as ponderously and carefully as its protagonists.”

Jonathan Holland, Hollywood Reporter

“A meaninful, tense, complex and dark film.”

Carlos Boyero, EL PAÍS

“The script is a masterpiece.”

Mikel Insausti, GARA

“The two-and-half hours running time is not a second too long. The tension is sustained from the first shot to the last, and the rhythm of the disquieting, shocking narrative never falters. It’s the most absorbing and powerful thriller of the last decade, with a violence that grips you and makes you think about the uncontrolled power that the family as an institution has acquired in American society."

Mikel Insausti, GARA

“A thriller with a skilfully and elegantly constructed mechanism that overwhelms the viewer and catapults the film to the stratosphere occupied by masterpieces like Clint Eastwood’s Mystic River (2003) and Ben Affleck’s Gone Baby Gone (2007).”

Pedro Vallín, LA VANGUARDIA

“A film that radiates happiness from every inch of the screen.”

Begoña del Teso, EL DIARIO VASCO
