“A careful reflection on the female condition and its repressed image.”
Luis Martínez, EL MUNDO
“Unaffected elegance, heightened sensuality and a near-pictorial expressiveness in its representation of the senses as a means of worldly belonging and of self-affirmation.”
Ricardo Aldarondo, EL DIARIO VASCO ESPECIAL
“A dark period drama, elegantly depicted through Christine A. Maier’s cinematography.”
Vassilis Economou, CINEUROPA
“Very powerful (…) Maria Dragus, neither blind nor a pianist, is brilliant.”
Oti Rodriguez Marchante, ABC
“An intimate drama which, as expected, is raised by its potent allegory.”
Víctor Esquirol, GARA
“A film as enigmatic as it is insightful, as cerebral as it is disturbing.”
Luis Martínez, EL MUNDO
“Magnificent performance from Barbara Lennie.”
Ricardo Aldarondo, EL DIARIO VASCO ESPECIAL
“An engaging, compelling and surprising ride.”
Lee Marshal, SCREENDAILY
“This non-conformist cinema language is a pleasant experience for those who wish to take a voyeuristic plunge into the darkest recesses of humanity.”
Vassilis Economou, CINEUROPA
“A careful, artful portrait of a self-determined woman.”
Jessica Kiang, VARIETY
“Every shot is carefully framed with muted sounds and a palette of sickly beiges, greys and pinks suggesting a world that is a faded copy of some brighter, clearer place.”
Lee Marshall, SCREEN DAILY
“The film catches you unawares. It’s astonishing, because it’s not what anyone expected. In fact, it’s much more.”
Angel Aldaronco, BERRIA
“The internal mechanics of both the script and the mise en scène are exquisitely smooth, and the film makes excellent use of classic theatrical codes.”
Fabien Lemercier, CINEUROPA
“A charming yet dangerous emotional rollercoaster.”
Giorgia del Don, CINEUROPA
“The story generates great expectation (…) reflects a difficult experience that we’ve all been through.”
Uxue Arzelus, BERRIA
“An ensemble film where the personal and the political exist in rare harmony. Tremendously vitalist.”
Mikel G. Gurpegui, EL DIARIO VASCO ESPECIAL
“Dazzlingly refined visuals and sound (…) conveys desolation, dehumanisation, alienation and violence, at times with true mastery and at others like a ton of bricks.”
Mikel G. Gurpegui, EL DIARIO VASCO ESPECIAL
“The acting is on a whole other level. Barely half an hour went by before Frances McDormand received a round of applause.”
Uxue Arzelus, BERRIA
“(Viscarret) has created a unique portrait of a man he admires (…) one of those men who lures you in with their charisma.”
Uxue Arzelus, BERRIA
