“The film by director Icíar Bollaín possesses something difficult to explain in words: a cast whose performances, combined with the force of the stories, vigorously stirs our feelings.” Urtzi Urkizu, Berria.

 

“Everything is endowed with authentic art and an admirable expressiveness. The glances, the silences, the dialogues (…), the distinguished performances of Blanca Portillo and Luis Tosar make me feel like I have a lump in my throat and make my eyes moisten.” Carlos Boyero, El País.

“Davies does not put together a typical biographical film but rather immerses himself in the character, delves into his world and presents us with an evocative work about the most outstanding aspects of his life.” Mikel G. Gurpegui, El Diario Vasco.

 

“It is a biopic that rejects the trends of the genre, basing itself, with complete freedom, on moments and decisions that are pure poetry.” Víctor Esquirol, Gara.

“The much-admired Lucile Hadzihalilovic’s third feature, Earwig, screams to be watched on the big screen and, once there, defies the audience by being bafflingly, hypnotically, impenetrable.” Fionnuala Halligan, Screen Daily.

 

“Fascinating and disturbing with its few words and singular atmosphere.” Mikel G. Gurpegui, El Diario Vasco.

“So intimate that sometimes you feel like (you know you are) a (lucky) intruder in these conversations between mother and daughter.” Begoña del Teso, El Diario Vasco.

“Javier Corcuera Andrino’s film bases itself on the collection of important documents on the kids that made music explode from the Basque Country and reach the galaxies.” Begoña del Teso, El Diario Vasco.

“This provocative and unapologetically profane Buñuelian prank [is] one of the first examples of a genuine auteur work to emerge in a world upended by COVID-19.” Peter Debruge, Variety.
