The story of a hugely charismatic man who, for years, served as the speaker of the Spanish association of Holocaust victims, and who kept alive, before the media, within his own association, and even within his own family, a highly complex fabrication: He claimed to be a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp, a fact that turned out to be a shameful lie.

El Pais (Spain)

There is something memorable and exceptional about this disquieting film. It is Eduard Fernández's admirable performance. [Full review in Spanish]

The new work by Aitor Arregi and Jon Garaño tells an anecdote, a footnote to a story that is as fun to watch as it is, frankly, repetitive. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

The conflict etched in Fernández’s face keeps us watching until the end, but Marco, The Invented Truth isn’t able to uncover the truth behind ‘the invented truth’.

Rated: 3/5

Lee Marshall

Screen International

The impressively internalised performance of veteran Spanish actor Eduard Fernandez as Marco, whose home-dyed hair and moustache become an objective correlative of his fakery, is matched by Nathalie Poza’s affecting turn as his devoted wife of many years.
