Hopefully the next film by the Mallorcan will take us to those territories that only he knows how to tread. [Full review in Spanish]

El Pais (Spain)

It's not an easy film, although it is a relevant study on cowardice and ineptitude, abandonment and forgetfulness, which unfortunately extends through the ages. [Full review in Spanish]

Cine Vértigo

This movie works more like an experimental theater piece. I wish Villaronga had made it that way. In this way, surely I would not have seen it.

Rated: 1/4

[A] tortuous 74-minute historical epic [that] fails to even remotely engage its viewer.
