“Enigmatic, cheeky and sensitive in equal measure”.
Ricardo Aldarondo, EL DIARIO VASCO
“A tragicomedy with shades of a ghost story that basically wants to break free”.
Luis Martínez, EL MUNDO
“An agile film with outstanding humour”.
Carlos Boyero, EL PAIS
“A freewheeling, even more uninhibited example of cinematographic debauchery”.
Víctor Esquirol, GARA
“The pace and the way in which the story and characters’ feelings fit in with the landscape makes Sparrows particularly appealing”.
Ricardo Aldarondo, EL DIARIO VASCO
“A delicate, sensitive and accurate portrayal of pent up adolescence”.
Carlos Boyero, EL PAIS
“A master class in coherence and sobriety”.
Juan Zapater, NOTICIAS DE GIPUZKOA
“A bewildering tribute to New Year’s Eve as a frame of mind, to the recklessness of being alive, to foolishness”.
Luis Martínez, EL MUNDO
“Wild pleasure”.
Víctor Esquirol, GARA
“Álex de la Iglesia’s most choral, chaotic and absurd film”.
Beatriz Martínez, EL PERIODICO
“Not only is this one of the most well-rounded pieces produced by one of the most significant figures on the current Latin American scene to date, but it is also one of the most terrible (and, therefore, needed) reflections on guilt, “responsibility and the (lack of) memory that usually accompanies them”.
GARA
“Koreeda has created a film which is loaded with emotional simplicity (…) without resorting to gratuitous drama”.
Koldo Landaluze, GARA
“A real gem which seduces, surprises and excites in equal measure”.
Koldo Landaluze, GARA
“Inevitably intriguing”.
