“Elegant and lucid consideration of life and death, the siege of illness and the palliative solutions that make it possible to cross this frontier in a natural way and without being pushed or tormented when it is inevitable.” Oti Rodríguez Marchante, ABC
“It is an intense film, narrated without a faltering moment by a master who is not afraid to advocate euthanasia.” Oskar Belategui, EL CORREO
“Everything is so musical, human, joyful and fun, everything is so attached to real things and the vagaries of life, that you come out happy and whistling Ravel’s ‘Bolero’.” Oti Rodríguez Marchante, ABC
“Hats off to the photography from the beginning of the film to the end.” U.U. BERRIA
“It stands out as much for its beautiful aesthetics as for its cold characters. Visual delicacy of the highest order in a production whose photography is worthy of an award.” Mikel G. Gurpegui, EL DIARO VASCO
“Like the main characters, I felt as if I was sitting in front of the television as I did when I was a child, trapped by its light and without fully understanding what was happening, but unable to look away.” Uxue Arzelus Lasa, BERRIA
“A film that could be assigned to the horror genre, but the highlighting of socially sensitive issues such as feminicide and male violence against women magnifies its importance and frees it from being easily pigeonholed.” M. Moleón, LA RAZÓN
