It feels like the film could be much tighter and have had a smaller scope and could have been something to behold. It is worth the watch, though, if you have a curiosity about this piece of Spanish history.

Rated: C

Decider

Despite its opportunity to springboard off high-stakes real-life events, She Walks in Darkness is a boilerplate spy thriller that struggles to distinguish itself.

Digital Mafia Talkies

If you want to learn about the ETA and the politics of Spain during the ‘90s, just read about it instead of analyzing it all through the perspective of cops. In fact, consider that a general piece of advice for every movie and TV show with cops in it

Far from epic or revisionist tones, Díaz Yanes opts for an ethical, restrained perspective that recall the best moments of his cinema. [Full review in Spanish]

Set in 1990s Spain, this espionage thriller about an undercover officer infiltrating ETA promises tension and moral conflict but delivers mostly cold exposition. Despite its historical accuracy and elegant production design, the film lacks emotional depth and human connection....Susana Abaitua gives a restrained performance as Amaya, yet the script never allows her to evolve beyond a symbol of duty....Dialogue feels clinical, the pacing flat, and the politics one sided. What could have been a haunting portrait of divided loyalties becomes a lifeless exercise in patriotic drama.....

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
