Carlos Bonfil La Jornada In the style of The Lives of Others (Von Donnersmarck, 2006), this stupendously loaded political thriller shows us how security services (the sinister Stasi) twisted moral values and turned people... to spy on each other. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Javier Ocaña El Pais (Spain) The film ultimately doesn't reach its full potential. The cinematography doesn't do due justice to such an interesting real story and historical background. Jun 17, 2022 Full Review Jordi Batlle Caminal Fotogramas And within the classic spy film outline, we sympathize with the impeccably moral hero. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Jan 13, 2022 Full Review Santiago Alverú Cinemanía (Spain) Shows Walter's evolution with a fine rhythm.
