The Candidate's reviews
Media reviews
Cinemanía
"A look at the complex and mainly human corruption. (...) From the ogre to the political thriller ending on a sequence of persecution on the road that will be remembered".
Fotogramas
"A film really authentically painful (...) Sorogoyen and Peña pass with a high grade the challenge of showing the corruption phenomenon in Spain"
El País
"Sorogoyen tells that abject story with a really powerful visual power that creates adrenaline on the spectator. The camara makes prodigies (...) It's not only a really good film, it's also necessary"
El Mundo
"Sorogoyen lights again (...) with a really comfortable, furious and electric film and, let's admit it, timely".
ABC
"A wrecking reflection like 'Goodfellas' from the moral dung of politics. (...) Everything is authentic, real, vivid and as estimulating as embarrassing"
El Mundo
"Sorogoyen shows his talent again (...) The film is full of memorable moments (...) 'El Reino' captures with anger and talent and what catalans call 'rauxa' the political moment we're still living".
Fotogramas
"Everything that is written and analysed about the corruption in Spain is on 'El Reino'. (...) There's only a few times it has been showed with the brilliant maestry of Rodrigo Soroguyen, and a powerful cast"
The Hollywood Reporter
"Great acting from Antonio de la Torre (...) 'El Reino' is a good example of the committed and really enjoyable contemporary cinema"
