After a night of partying, David drunkenly falls from a terrace while his friend Juan watches helplessly. David's body hits a car hood and shatters into a thousand pieces. Since no one else seems shocked by this, Juan sets out to discover what happened, finding himself immersed in a labyrinth of fleeting romances, unbreakable friendships and pianos falling from the sky.

Louisa Moore

Screen Zealots

Visually inventive and deliberately oddball, this Spanish absurdist sci-fi comedy often struggles with pacing, with a meandering script that leans more on its whimsical vibes than on narrative momentum. It’s a frustrating experience, to say the least.

By the end, you may not have all the answers, but you will have experienced something rare: a story that makes the absurd feel human and the strange feel strangely beautiful.

Rated: 8/10

Overall, The Fantastic Gollum Affairs is stylistically enjoyable, and there are genuine moments of humorous absurdity. However, the execution of the story and overall pacing of the film leaves a lot to be desired.

NYC Movie Guru

A quirky, absurdist comedy that's low on laughs and runs out of steam too quickly.

Spectrum Culture

The science fiction and comedy ably mixes observation with the absurd. Audiences will also remember a violent physical gag that happens not once, but three times, a gleeful reminder that blood is the funniest bodily fluid.

A wild comedic ride from its opening frames, The Fantastic Golem Affairs works best when it reveals in the absurdity of the mystery Juan is trying to solve.
