The Audition's reviews
Media reviews
El Mundo
The director manages to build a detailed treatise on each of the diseases that inhabit perfection, or her desire.
El País
In the outcome I feel the same as at the beginning. I am waiting for something that does not arrive. The madness of the lady leaves me indifferent.
El Periódico
Weisse is exceptionally skilled in exploring the psyche of its protagonist without needing to make judgments about their actions.
Fotogramas
Political cinema, as the last scene affirms, composed with an undoubted mastery (that magnificent shot divided in two, with half the face of the protagonist), under the appearance of a family drama.
The Hollywood Reporter
It?s well-performed and crafted with the fine-tuned aesthetics of highbrow European art house flicks, including a soundtrack filled with Bach and other classical hitmakers. But it?s also too abstruse to be fully convincing.
Variety
?The Audition? looks and sounds more genteel than it is: A disquieting strain of bad behavior courses beneath its tasteful, grownup classicism.
