Jessica Kiang Variety At best, it's a consummately well-crafted and committed version of a story we've seen play out dozens of times before. Sep 5, 2018 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter A top-tier genre yarn. Sep 5, 2018 Full Review Fionnuala Halligan Screen International Punchily entertaining, and very seductively, claustrophobically shot and scored... Sep 5, 2018 Full Review John Serba Decider Perfectly fine, and kind of boring. Jan 31, 2020 Full Review José Martín El antepenúltimo mohicano The director's commitment to restraint and his strong attachment to social reality is remarkable. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Jun 25, 2019 Full Review Jordi Costa El Pais (Spain) The film is more interested in what occurs within the protagonists rather than the political aspects.
