Ty Burr Boston Globe "Museo" is slightly frustrating on first watch, as its themes lie partly hidden behind Bernal's intentionally abrasive performance and the mix-and-match filmmaking of Ruizpalacios. Rated: 3/4 Jan 10, 2019 Full Review Randy Cordova Arizona Republic Moviegoers looking for the kind of zip found in an "Ocean's" movie may feel a bit lost at sea with "Museo" and its offbeat rhythms and quirky charms. But the rewards definitely will be greater, if you keep an open mind. Rated: 4/5 Nov 19, 2018 Full Review Ben Sachs Chicago Reader Even after the story runs out, it's still a joy to watch. Rated: 3/4 Nov 16, 2018 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine A bold and provocative portrait of the human condition, challenging the viewer to look beyond appearances and confront uncomfortable truths about ourselves. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 8/10 Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Ruizpalacios layers in critiques of Mexican society, colonial history and more in a complex yet very entertaining film. Oct 21, 2020 Full Review Andrew Gaudion THN Museo is a greatly appealing, bizarrely touching, fun and involving crime caper-come-character piece. Rated: 5/5 Aug 28, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The cinematography is exceptional. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Fascinating “replica” (i.e. fictionalized version) of the real, incredibly bizarre and audacious robbery of the Mexican Museum of Anthropology by two disaffected college dropouts. Fictionalizing the story allowed the director to speculate on the motivations of the two thieves and to establish a narrative theme of history being a less than perfectly reliable account of the past. Really well done. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/21 Full Review Audience Member Es un buen trabajo de intriga, suspenso y drama del cine mexicano. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review nefasto r From the director of "Gueros", comes another cute and quirky film, and therefore another pleasant watch. Alonso Ruizpalacios's style is intriguing and creative, and the fictionalized story feels more honest and sincere of the real one. Not to be missed. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review david f An unusual heist film. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Museo carece de chispa para conectar con el publico,a pesar de ser un vivo retro de patriotismo mexicano,no logra darle lo suficiente a un talento Gael que saca por bien librada su actuacion, su dramatico y frustrante argumento es el vivo retrato de un mexico en 1985 que funciona por momentos y por otros no. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
