Chus Pérez Girón Espinof 'Gernika' has a strong cinematographic language that speaks without words. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 24, 2019 Full Review Alberto Abuín Espinof In addition to the beauty of María Valverde, 'Gernika' stands out for the portentous bombing sequence.

Didier C I like a lot this mubi Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/28/23 Full Review Audience Member The bombing of Guernica is one of the great tragedies of all wars, and a devastating example of Franco's oppression of the Basque people. However, this movie is overly dramatic with the lead male's performance leaden and amateurish. Making the Soviets evil was also manipulative and almost childish. The Spanish actors were excellent, but wasted in this silly film. The nude scene was also terribly manipulative and unnecessary. The Guernica bombing is a horrific example of fascist disregard of humanity. It deserves more than this poorly executed film. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Very poor and stereotypical plot. But a good production, with very good photo and camera moves. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Well done. Tells the background of the picasso painting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member A magnificent work of motion picture art. The special effects were outstanding, the action heart-pounding, the drama tear-jerking. To top it off, it was graced with rare, cultural accuracy. A must-see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful. This is a tragic, but beautiful portrayal of real events that were just the beginning of a terrible war and catastrophic loss of life. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
