“A beautiful story full of sorority.” Urtzi Urkizu, Berria.
“A touching portrayal of a genuinely feminine form of solidarity and the kind of survival story that can keep is on the edge of our seats as we watch it.” Nando Salvà, El Periódico.
“Camborda presents motherhood and childbirth in a personal way, focusing on the female body and using intuition for support.” Iraitz Mateo and Amalur Artola, Gara.
“It follows that ‘traditional’ style of rural intimist cinema that in recent years has constantly driven Spanish cinematography to draw visual maps composed of embraces between women, shared pain and territories of hope in which it is not only possible to imagine a different life but also to live it.” Marta Moleón, La Razón.
“A psychological thriller on the verge of being a slasher, in the style of those films in which the villains meet their match, such as Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof (2007) or Craig Zobel’s The Hunt (2020).” Harri X. Fernández, Noticias de Gipuzkoa.
“With a formal neatness and the darkness of a thriller, The Successor surprises us as the protagonist breaks down, fleeing from the human gaze of his father’s friend, of the neighbour, and the eyes of society in general, which watch him and misinterpret his disconsolate crying.” Itziar Altuna, El Diario Vasco.
“It couldn’t have been more enjoyable getting into the fun and games of this world that is incomprehensible to me, to enjoy the discomfort. The Swedish filmmaker makes the humour even easier, sometimes adding an aura of mystery.” Uxue Arzelus, Berria.
“Larsson builds a story with a nice balance of surreal and very identifiable situations, including sofas, beds and dressers.” Uxue Arzelus, Berria.
