El silencio del pantano's reviews
Media reviews
El Periódico
The description of the characteristic flora and fauna of the region turns out so precise as convincing. But maybe the biggest achievement of Vigil is to bring discomfort to every sequence, forming a microcosmos of a big ambiguity in which the characters move like caged animals in a spiral of amazing persecution and link his proposal with the Korean thriller not only through the stylisation of the staging, but also through the embodiment of a so dry violence as visceral and brutal.
El País
Actually it's the mixture of both storylines what doesn't match, along with the questionable open end of the movie. But, in exchange, from the vehement soundtrack of Zeltia Montes, Vigil achieves a vibrant thriller with a wonderful staging (soothing travellings, moments full of violent and fancy fury), which dares with an exciting theme in one of its collateral storylines: the money laundering through some small business with none profitability, which nobody cares about.
ABC
The ambiguity and secrecy that Pedro Alonso sent in 'Money Heist', the roughness and ferocity of Nacho Fresneda and the sadness and insolence of Carmina Barrios build the heat and ideal "vice" for the breaking of the story as long as it moves forward in a plot that combines crime, social corruption and its tentacles in a crossing between reality and fiction very well done in environments, rhythms and schemes by the director Marc Vigil, new in movies but a veteran in TV shows.
