"The best portraitist in modern Spanish film when it comes to capturing the most corrupt and underhand aspects of the sociopolitical reality in Spain".
Juan Arteaga, EL DIARIO VASCO: SPECIAL EDITION
"The result is a film which is so brilliant, so significant and, if you ask me, so essential that it hurts".
Luis Martínez, EL MUNDO
“A clear narration of a dirty story which manages to make sense of the unintelligible".
Oti Rodríguez Marchante, ABC
"Well filmed, with notable acting and a strained, dry, harsh and bleak tone".
Juan Zapater, NOTICIAS DE GUIPUZCOA
"Vulnerability lurks under a facade of strength, which is something that Adèle Exarchopoulos knows how to convey so well".
Ricardo Aldarondo, EL DIARIO VASCO: SPECIAL EDITION
“I am not Madame Bovary” is full of discoveries (...) A visual delight with a female character that behaves like a scratchy piece of fish in the throat of Chinese politics and bureaucracy".
Oti Rodríguez Marchante, ABC
"A savage portrait of the violence created by poverty".
Beñat Eizagirre, BERRIA
“Cinematographer Itay Gross shows the freedom and vibrancy of the women's Tel Aviv life with bright colors and wide open spaces in contrast to the dull colors and claustrophobic spaces of village life”.
Alissa Simon, VARIETY
"A hypnotic lesson in the history of film".
Víctor Esquirol, GARA
"A wicked critique of the individualisation and competitiveness of today, but which uses absurd situations and approaches in order to create laughter".
Beñat Eizagirre, BERRIA
"The film invites us to immerse ourselves in the world of dreams".
Beñat Eizagirre, BERRIA
"A poetic-political-historical-ironic-self-referential fresco painting".
Mikel G. Gurpegui, EL DIARIO VASCO: SPECIAL EDITION
"Watching ‘The Red Turtle’ is like spending a night outdoors under the moon, taking a bath in absolute loneliness, greeting the sun".
Mikel G. Gurpegui, EL DIARIO VASCO: SPECIAL EDITION
"It was sheer delight to watch this gentle, familiar piece of cinema (...) Sachs has a rare knack for making us feel as if faced with a piece of life".
Mikel G. Gurpegui, EL DIARIO VASCO: SPECIAL EDITION
"A new offering which helps us understand how some human beings with suicidal courage are able to ride the sea, challenging death".
Iratxe Fresneda, GARA
