Rated: 4/5 Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com The Castle is a fascinating and at the same time uncomfortable account of class dynamics where temptation and guilt, prejudice and dignity coexist. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 29, 2023 Full Review Fernando Bernal Cinemanía (Spain) It is an endearing, critical, and melancholic film that takes place in non-fiction.
