The Castle is a fascinating and at the same time uncomfortable account of class dynamics where temptation and guilt, prejudice and dignity coexist. [Full review in Spanish]

It is an endearing, critical, and melancholic film that takes place in non-fiction. [Full review in Spanish]

Benchimol's proposal, in any case, plays with great courage and shows off specific moments of revelatory good taste. [Full review in Spanish]
