★★★★ “An elegant and stylishly crafted piece of entertainment.” The Guardian
“An oversized, deliciously twisted ride that runs on an endless supply of black humor and a sizeable body count. It’s a hoot.” The Wrap
“An enjoyable affair with just enough of a slant to feel a little offbeat. There’s a lot of fun to be had in the simple eccentricity of the premise.” Variety
“A polished mashup of genre motifs that suggests what might happen if the Ocean’s 11 gang assembled on the Canary Islands.” IndieWire
“Arthouse noir that’s a cut above the usual.” Hollywood Reporter
“The dirty-cop trope gets an imaginative new workout in this sly and intricate crime drama by the director Corneliu Porumboiu.” New Yorker
