| 90% | Sieranevada (2016) |
An exercise in cinema so precise, ambitious and, if you will, torn. And tragically comic. Maybe monumental. [Full review in Spanish]‐ El Mundo (Spain)

| 2/5 | 45% | Paris Can Wait (Bonjour Anne) (2017) |
A very predictable and obvious film... but the impassable presence of Lane and the claim of gastronomy as one of the greatest pleasures of life are worth the price of the ticket. [Full review in Spanish]‐ El Mundo (Spain)

| 5/5 | 100% | Summer 1993 (Estiu 1993) (2017) |
A film that manages to stay one step ahead of the spectator's expectations. The challenge is that the viewer rebuilds the film itself from the bewilderment, the rage, the astonishment and the weeping of Frida. [Full review in Spanish]‐ El Mundo (Spain)

The result is a thriller dressed as erratically as out of record and with all the vices of the a debut director, always determined to tell everything on each plane. [Full review in Spanish]‐ El Mundo (Spain)

| 58% | The Double Lover (L'amant double) (2017) |
The director seems unable to control the tone of a story that, at times, is comedy, sometimes thriller, sometimes punctual erotic drama and always delirium. [Full review in Spanish]‐ El Mundo (Spain)

Rodin is a film so hard, so pending of being a work to the height of the character that, rather than to overwhelm, also discourages. [Full review in Spanish]‐ El Mundo (Spain)
