Critic Reviews for Marshland

All Critics (36) | Top Critics (13) | Fresh (33) | Rotten (3)

  • Generically, Marshland at first could be mistaken for a straightforward police procedural in many senses, but the factor that grants it its real punch is its politics.

    Alexandra Heller-Nicholas

    The Blue Lenses

  • Marshland has superb performances and a heady atmosphere, but its greatest strength is finding resolution while letting the mystery be.

    September 25, 2015 | Full Review…

    Serena Donadoni

    Village Voice

  • The elegant widescreen compositions and use of light and shadows are strongly reminiscent of Seven and Zodiac, and the film's eerie, disconcerting mood brings to mind HBO's True Detective.

    August 20, 2015 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

    Rene Rodriguez

    Miami Herald

  • Visually and atmospherically, Marshland is suffused with an eerie oppressiveness, entirely at odds with the region's reputation for light-hearted alegria.

    Jonathan Holland

    Hollywood Reporter

  • A couple of mismatched cops in the immediate post-Franco era investigate the brutal murders of two teenage girls in Alberto Rodriguez's satisfyingly atmospheric neo-noir.

    Jay Weissberg

    Variety

  • The swampy lowlands at the mouth of Spain's Guadalquivir River, as lensed by cinematographer Alex Catalan, help liberate the film from its genre moorings to produce a striking new form of Southern Gothic.
