3/5
A sutil film about the abuse of power. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Carlos Bonfil La Jornada Apr 5, 2023
... The film solidifies Ulrich Seidl as a great explorer of human vices and weaknesses in rough fictions that maliciously tamper with reality. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Elsa Fernández-Santos El Pais (Spain) Mar 24, 2023
A rosary of social pathologies cultivated in the well of forgetfulness. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Carlota Mosegui Cinemanía (Spain) Mar 23, 2023
5/5
The best film of Seidl's extensive filmography is the most difficult to digest. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Randy Meeks Espinof Sep 20, 2022
Deplorable at its core and makes you feel constantly uncomfortable, but at the same time it challenges you, depicting the most hidden side of a pedophile who is clearly unable to live a normal life. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Leonardo Garcia Tsao La Jornada Sep 20, 2022
Without really saying anything pertinent about the subject, or developing the protagonist's pathology, Sparta seems futile. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
