Alberto Abuín Espinof A solid, entertaining and enjoyable film with impeccable performances and great directing. [Full review in Spanish] Oct 3, 2016 Full Review Luis Martínez El Mundo (Spain) A film with a story so crazy that you would say is real. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Sep 28, 2016 Full Review Diego Lerer Otroscines.com An entertaining political thriller that makes clear that mafias in politics are really similar around the world. [Full review in Spanish] Sep 28, 2016 Full Review Carlos Marañón Cinemanía (Spain) Alberto Rodrguez makes a convincing living dead genre film out of Spanish political cinema.

[Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Sep 27, 2016 Full Review Mikel Zorrilla Espinof A film where everything seems to go well but something related to the construction of its main character makes it fail.

nefasto r I've started it twice, I finish it zero times. It might deserve more than 2 stars, but I'll never know. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Something doesn't work in this film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member España està ùltimamente rodando los mejores thrillers. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Based on Manuel Cerdán's book, that the director appreciated, "The Man with Thousand Faces" is inspired in true events. Even if the movie does not have the ambition of telling the whole truth about the biggest financial scandal in Spain, Alberto Rodríguez's film admirably reconstructs the events that could have happened. Even though the rhythm of the movie is unequal and there are some boring bits that do not affect the result, "The Man with Thousand Faces" has the merit of proposing a rich and varied cast and quite sharp dialogues. The voice-off, that is present all along the film, is used as a guideline and leads the spectator, making it easier to understand the events. Behind his will to swindle, hides a profoundly human being and it's maybe too late when he realises that he would have prefered to give priority to his family life rather than his fortune. Beyond its moral and its political complexity, this movie shows a deep human side that echoes the current situation of many countries.

Also based on real events Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member PELICULÓN!! Mañana seguro se queda todos los Goya <3 Basada en hechos reales retrata maravillosamente lo que pasó durante los 90 con el caso de corrupción Roldan y Paesa. Brillante en su totalidad, elección de actores, musicalización y edición. Se nota tremendamente la mano de Alberto Rodríguez Librero (director de mi amada Isla Minima que también arrasó con los Goya en su año 2014). Entretenimiento de primera Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
