What the critics say average 7.5 from 6 outlets

  • 8.6 FotogramasMirito Torreiro Thought, like 'La isla mínima', not only to rebuild a political climate that is a moral slab, but also for the public to have a good time, it can consider that it meets that goal clearance. Read
  • 8.0 El MundoLuis Martínez A picture as bright as revealing what we are, we go by the hand of a thriller and comedy, tragedy and hurt. Read
  • 6.5 La RazónCarlos Pumares Eduard Fernández, is well as always, captained a cast and a setting very accomplished. Perhaps it more interesting for those who live through the media that story and the effects. Read
