Randy Meeks Espinof Undercover manages to create a spectacle out of a nightmare by fictionalizing a perspective that we hadn't seen much in Spanish cinema, taking advantage of the opportunity to give contemporary undertones about gender equality. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Luis Martínez El Mundo (Spain) An existential thriller, let's call it that, as feverish as it is provocative.

Marco L (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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Read all reviews
