La Jornada

This promising thriller opens painfully in a manipulative picture that denies villainy and extreme kindness. [Full Review in Spanish]

‘El Patrón' no es propiamente un thriller. Es es un drama social bien actuado, con una excelente caracterización, un buen ritmo narrativo y todo sin exagerar en la dramatización. A diferencia del cine sociológico o cine comprometido —que es tan común en America latina —, esta película es mucho más sobria y profesional.

Understated crime drama which is all about the psychology leading up to the event. This is superbly filmed and acted and a real sense of the situation the economic migrants are in.
