“Genuine, real, vivid and stimulating” Oti Rodriguez Marchante, ABC
“With its Fincherian pace and penchant for long takes at high-tension moments, Sorogoyen and Peña have created a scandal thriller for a realm permanently immersed in scandal” Victor Esquirol, GARA
“A masterfully-directed film” Harkaitz Cano, EL DIARIO VASCO
“Antonio de la Torre is colossal in a huge and relevant role. His distinctive style shines” Ricardo Aldarondo, EL CORREO
“Sorogoyen shines once again doing what he does best (…) a disconcerting, enraged, electric and timely film” Luis Martinez, EL MUNDO
“Prompts a smile (as excited as they get) from the most loyal cinephile” Victor Esquirol, GARA
“Steeped with the essence of the New Wave” Alex Zubiria, DEIA
“An enjoyable ride, poisonous beneath its seemingly superficial veneer” Gontzal Agote, BERRIA
“A daring script that walks a line between fantasy and comedy” Ricardo Aldarondo, EL DIARIO VASCO
“Powerful, magnificent and mysterious” Luis Martinez, EL MUNDO
“A cinematographic work which is proudly unidentified (…) Jaquemet is still on top form” Victor Esquirol, GARA
“Aroonpheng’s great achievement is to convey a sense of humanist outrage while telling an involving, sometimes headily perplexing story in a magical realist register. This rich feature threads together a set of diverse but poetically ‘rhyming’ images (…) a set of similarly glowing gems that emerge from the forest floor, and a horrific image of other human treasures hidden in the earth” Jonathan Romney, SCREEN DAILY
“A succession of fascinating and powerful images (…) so beautiful, so hypnotic” Mikel G. Gurpegui, EL DIARIO VASCO
“A drama that seizes and holds you (…) Carell and Chalamet both give excellent performances” Owen Gleiberman, VARIETY
“A surprising journey through the pain of bereavement” Begoña del Teso, EL DIARIO VASCO
“Ana Brun, star of the show, comes into her own in one of the most breathtaking performances of the season” GARA
“Romanticism that goes against the grain (…) this other style of falling in love is to be savoured” Mikel G. Gurpegui, EL DIARIO VASCO
“How breathtaking (…) What a delight to let yourself be carried away by the music, to immerse yourself in this story of love/indifference (…) What a joy to lose yourself (…) in the exquisite black and white images (…) Not one word, gesture or detail is lacking nor wasted in this subtle, restrained and admirably condensed work” Mikel G. Gurpegui, EL DIARIO VASCO
“Deeply humane (…) and newcomer Polster proves every bit as impressive” Peter Debruge, VARIETY
“A docudrama in the most authentic and exciting sense of the word (…) so revelatory in its realism, so gritty in its physicality, that it becomes a drama of thrillingly hellbent danger and obsession” Owen Gleiberman, VARIETY
“Astonishingly well-connected, Toulouse Lautrec, the Moulin Rouge, a young African girl and the shadow of Fantômas (…) fill the screen” Begoña del Teso, EL DIARIO VASCO
