Stephanie Bunbury Deadline Hollywood Daily Portillo is straight-up remarkable; she always seems to be playing several emotional layers simultaneously, her face a play of light and shade, anger and sympathy, toughness and soft vulnerability and every shade of feeling in between. Sep 16, 2023 Full Review Brian Susbielles InSession Film Blanca Portillo and Luis Tosar, as widow and killer respectively, are both phenomenal and carry the burden of conflicting emotions in Iciar Bollain’s stirring drama. Rated: A- Feb 22, 2023 Full Review Filipe Freitas Always Good Movies Maixabel is depicted as a woman with heart and courage, a true image of dialogue and reconciliation. Rated: 3/5 May 18, 2022 Full Review Ray Lobo Film Threat Maixabel excels when delving into grand themes. The movie clearly displays the arbitrariness and absurdity of violence. Rated: 6/10 Apr 8, 2022 Full Review Luis Martínez El Mundo (Spain) What remains is a film that appeals to us, essentially visceral or viscerally essential. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Nov 4, 2021 Full Review Juan Pando Fotogramas Bollaín demonstrates a masterful command of his craft in this, his most well-rounded film.
