Rousingly filmed (…) Mendoza once again portrays the forgotten and marginalised alongside the indelible and infallible image of those who stand up for a society that appears to be crumblingJuan G. Andrés, EL DIARIO VASCO

An immensely courageous work that transcends genre film to become a protest piece (…) undoubtedly committed to the cause Victor Esquirol, GARA

The brilliant Mendoza uses sinister cinematography and garbage-packed settings to sculpt his best movies (…) he returns close to where he has always been to reassert his accusations against a police system that has become the main scourge of the very society it should serveJuan Zapater, NOTICIAS DE GUIPUZCOA

Troy Espiritu’s script is taut and to the point, and gives the impression of being grounded in hard researchJonathan Romney, SCREEN DAILY

This vibrantly executed and performed piece is bound to garner international prestigeJonathan Romney, SCREEN DAILY

Santiago Alfonso is well-tuned and the real surprise of the filmVictor Esquirol, GARA

Pleasing and entertaining Oti Rodriguez Marchante, ABC

A noteworthy exercise in intrigue. Violence beats in every gesture, look and word spoken (…) a terrifying look at our most wild selfVictor Esquirol, GARA

The cinematography and shocking irony are fascinatingAlberto Moyano, EL DIARIO VASCO

Fine job of mixing comedy, drama and thriller elements Kaleem Aftab, CINEUROPA

So outlandish and yet so subtle (…) I love the square screen that frames this reflection on gods and children, friendship, death, faith and everything else. (…) I love that the scenes aren’t cut abruptly but flow serenely. I love this semi-religious mischief with its turntable, death, prayer and incenseBegoña del Teso, EL DIARIO VASCO

A film that doesn’t condemn ignorance but dreams, dreams and shows (…) that inhabiting a 4:3 aspect ratio is not easy. It squeezes. It overwhelmsBegoña del Teso, EL DIARIO VASCO

This domestic fantasy is a delight. Intimate and full of understanding and love, attentive to the details with some really beautiful touches Mikel G. Gurpegui, EL DIARIO VASCO

The way the film looks at the big picture (sacrifices of time, money and lives) and the small, inside an empty man tortured by the death of his daughter, is fascinatingOti Rodriguez Marchante, ABC

A wonderful hybrid, a magnificent beast combining thriller and documentary, spy film and the portrait of a person who reveals his thoughts about life, friendship, violence and peacemaking. As emphatic as he is moral and unreservedBegoña del Teso, EL DIARIO VASCO
