Media reviews
El País
A comedy about corruption in which the black tone is magnificent and the blankest part of it lowers the level a bit, but in which Luis Callejo stands up with an amazing performance.
ABC
What follows doesn't go farther than a camera piece a bit laborious and monochrome, but this couple of actors make the thing worth watching.
Fotogramas
One and the other make the pieces of the puzzle fit efficiently and with the complicity of an amazing cast (in which, one more times, Bárbara Santa-Cruz shines, another member of the scene stealers club) and a medium script and with lucky strikes.
Cinemanía
The film is lost between the rotten comedy, the romanticism with class conscience and the businesslike whodunit, and it ends up forgetting the safest asset they had: in Spain, any excuse is good to laugh at a boss.
El Mundo
The main character [...] wonderfully played by Luis Callejo has such a strength as to hold the black comedy for himself but, at the same time, he ends up eclipsing everything surrounding him, from a weak argument that ends up scrambling into an unlikely and unbelievable ending to some secondary characters that are barely developed and, in some cases (such as the suck-up who's a permanent victim of his boss' attacks) are mere caricatures.
El Periódico
'Boss' has more good intuit but not well resolved ideas than achievement and certainties. It takes the form of a black comedy, with an aggressive and virulent appearance in its dissection of the corruption of corporations, but in some moments it ends up being, above all, too grotesque.
