That permanent state of threat and paranoia that Spanish society suffered for years...is palpable in a dynamic and captivating narrative that balances action and conspiratorial atmospheres well...[Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Although there are moments when nervousness and uncertainty take over the plot ...Undercover gains more of the viewer's empathy through the performances and the dialogues between Angel and Arantxa. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Marcelo Paredes Cinencuentro Sep 24
The "big themes" end up outweighing the film itself, reducing what could have been a complex and vibrant story to an overly calculated exercise, which is less moving than expected. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Throughout the film I kept wondering: Is there something the director Arantxa Echevarría and her team intentionally omitted? Go to Full Review

Marco L @decatur555 Feb 22 (CASTELLANO) Hay películas que te mantienen en vilo, pero La infiltrada va más allá. No es solo la tensión de un thriller bien construido, es la sensación constante de peligro real, de estar atrapado en una situación imposible sin saber si la protagonista podrá salir de ella. Desde el primer minuto, la historia atrapa y no suelta. Carolina Yuste está increíble. Su personaje carga con una presión brutal, y ella lo transmite sin necesidad de grandes gestos. Basta con una mirada o un silencio para notar todo lo que lleva dentro. La película consigue que te pongas en su piel, que sientas su miedo y su desgaste emocional a medida que el riesgo aumenta. Saber que está basada en hechos reales solo hace que todo sea aún más impactante. El ritmo es perfecto. No hay escenas de relleno ni momentos que bajen la tensión. Cada situación parece una bomba a punto de estallar, y el peso de la doble vida de la protagonista se hace insoportable. Para cuando llega el desenlace, la carga emocional acumulada es tan grande que el llanto es casi inevitable. La infiltrada es un thriller crudo, directo y angustiante, que deja huella mucho después de que termine. (ENGLISH) Some films keep you on edge, but La infiltrada goes even further. It’s not just the tension of a well-constructed thriller; it’s the constant feeling of real danger, of being trapped in an impossible situation without knowing if the protagonist will make it out. From the very first minute, the story grabs hold of you and never lets go. Carolina Yuste is incredible. Her character carries an overwhelming pressure, and she conveys it effortlessly—no need for grand gestures. A single look or silence is enough to reveal everything she’s feeling. The film puts you in her shoes, making you feel her fear and emotional exhaustion as the stakes get higher. Knowing that it’s based on real events makes it all the more impactful. The pacing is perfect. There are no filler scenes or moments where the tension eases. Every situation feels like a ticking time bomb, and the weight of the protagonist’s double life becomes unbearable. By the time the ending arrives, the emotional buildup is so intense that tears are almost inevitable. La infiltrada is a raw, direct, and suffocating thriller that stays with you long after it’s over. See more Read all reviews
