Grant Watson Fiction Machine With The Goya Murders audiences get a satisfying thriller but a fairly disposable one too. Rated: 6/10 Aug 22, 2021 Full Review Mireia Mullor Fotogramas A reliable and entertaining thriller. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 2/5 Nov 11, 2019 Full Review John Tones Espinof We will not discover much about the murderer or his motivations beyond the fact that they are not as interesting as his fantastic crimes promised to be. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 28, 2019 Full Review Francisco Marinero El Mundo (Spain) Despite attempting to hold a dramatic profundity, the film results to be too stereotypical. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 2/5 Oct 22, 2019 Full Review Javier Ocaña El Pais (Spain) The film is entertaining enough, but one can't shake the feeling that it loses its way halfway through. [Full Review in Spanish] Oct 20, 2019 Full Review Janire Zurbano Cinemanía (Spain) Manages to entertain and maintain the viewer's interest.

Audience Member Grotesque lead characters - I lasted 20mins then walked away - what a waste of my time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Chris G Poor ending . Not explained. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Audience Member Just take the really bad, unpolite , chauvenous policeman of a bad 80s film and see a woman found the same... Not good, not credible and over acting. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member A serial killer in Greater Madrid is leaving murdered victims posed in positions from famous Goya paintings? One, please! Unfortunately, the film does little in terms of thrills and shock (with one notable exception) and continues with detective stereotypes so played-out they've exited the fashion cycle completely. Det. Carmen Cobo (Maribel Verdú) is the liquor-in-the-coffee, chain-smoking, child-hating half of the duo assigned to the strange case; her "better" half is Eva (Aura Garrido), a family-woman who enjoys karaoke as much as her children. The first half of the film gives us a couple of murders, but they almost feel like little reminders that this is a murder investigation instead of the film concerning Carmen's sexual endeavors with a couple/few(?) different men, one being her boss. There was also an infuriating scene wherein Carmen, out on her own searching for the killer, finds a suspicious white van that eventually leads to a chase — she's found him. However, instead of calling in the van and having any number of patrol cars aid her in the chase, she calls her obviously sleeping partner and gives her shit for not answering even though Carmen was doing her own thing. The plot does disclose why Carmen hates children, which I guess is nice, but discovering who the killer(s) was/were, rendered little more than an "oh, okay" out of this viewer. This movie is pretty new, so I won't spoil the ending, but there's a shocking scene towards the end that I appreciated. Is El Asesino de Los Caprichos (The Goya Murders) an edge of your seat thriller? No. Is it original? Kind of. Is it good? Not really. Do not recommend. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
