Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) 04/17/2009
It is less a docu-drama than a grotesquely manipulative fairytale -- half Walt Disney, half Lars von Trier. Go to Full Review
Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald 04/17/2009
2/5
It's a courageous piece of work but it's so thoroughly steeped in old-fashioned melodrama that it makes you squirm. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Though respectful and subdued when the story requires, Fesser's ironic touch manages to extract humour from a dire situation and in the process, skewer organised religion and its propagation of false hope. Go to Full Review
Julie Rigg MovieTime, ABC Radio National 04/17/2009
Not a film to recommend unless you have a particular interest in church politics. But an interesting one to talk about. Go to Full Review
Margaret Pomeranz At the Movies (Australia) 04/17/2009
3.5/5
People critical of Opus Dei will find much to justify their view in the film. But people who have great faith will also find much to nourish them. Javier Fesser has been very clever. Go to Full Review
Rhiannon Sawyer FILMINK (Australia) 04/10/2009
Young actress Nerea Camacho is brilliant as Camino, showing a maturity in her performance that resonates strongly with her tragic character. Go to Full Review

Walter T Dec 28 This movie tries to use pathos to drive it's message home, but it falls flat. There's only so many depressing plot turns one movie can have before it feels like a heavy-handed melodrama. There are at least a few visually interesting scenes. The film's message at least tries to be bold, but that message is delivered with all the subtlety of a car crash, with so many bleak and depressing scenes coming in such fast succession that they lose their emotional power and instead become groan-inducing. See more ANGEL 01/15/2024 One of the best Spanish films of the 2000s. Good actors, good direction, good script, and above all, its protagonist Nerea Camacho and Carma Elias. The saddest movie I have ever seen, but also with a beautiful ending See more Benjamin C 08/19/2022 I found this engrossed by all the 2 hours 18 minutes. The acting, the story but its not for the faint hearted. watch it please! See more 10/31/2021 One of the most intelligent attacks on religious fanatism... full of poetry, and taking the POV of a child for most part. Great performances all around, specially by two Oscar-worthy "parents", Mariano Venancio and Carme Elías, portraying polar opposites parental loves... the caring and empathic one and the monstruous, fanatic one. See more 01/18/2015 Uno de los mejores films españoles del 2008 , pelicula inteligente que pone en jaque al opus dei , imprescindible verla en esta sociedad ultra conservadora y religiosa. See more 09/21/2014 this is a great film not don't ever watch it if you are having a bad day because is extremly sad, definitely the saddest movie I ve ever seen in my life See more Read all reviews
