“A film where everything is endings: friendship, love, film, memory, except precisely the latter, which is not an end but a beginning, the announcement of something we can't see, nor know, but we feel that the images on the screen leave the whole universe in order”, Oti Rodríguez Marchante, ABC.
“Only The Javis are capable of mixing terror and sectarian fanaticism, the drama of a mother who devours her offspring and Almodóvar's costumbrism. If the seven hours of 'The Messiah' were a film, we would be looking at a Golden Shell”, O. Belategui, El Correo.
“The drama permeates everything, but so does love and respect for people who we empathise immediately, thanks the excellent writing and, above all, the enormous commitment of the entire cast.”, Miguel González, Cineuropa.
“Everything runs with admirable precision according to the extremely complex structure proposed", Luis Martínez, El Mundo.
