REVIEWS

““A successful experiment, Lacuesta both surprises and offends us with that irreverent sense of humor (…) It does not ask for your approval: either you love it or it chokes you  Rating: ★★★★ ★ (out of 5 ) »

Sergio F. Pinilla, Cinemania

«A comedy carried to the limit, with a tendency towards the macabre and a radically scathing air. A crazy portrayal of the current economic crisis»

Lluís Bonet Mojica, La Vanguardia

«Isaki Lacuesta invents a new brand of explosive comedy, and turns the crisis into an excuse to
celebrate the rigors of chaos (…) foolishly brutal»

 Luís Martínez, El Mundo

«Murieron por encima de sus posibilidades” is a film that satirizes power structures, but also
the citizen who wants to overthrow that power with a visceral outburst»

Carlos Prieto, EI Confidential
