Buñuel en el laberinto de las tortugas Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles

“Though undeniably charming, Buñuel can be a difficult character to like here, but that’s the point.”


— Peter Debruge, Variety

“It does ample justice to its subject. (...) 'Buñuel' is above all a good story elegantly told, where the visuals really do bring it home is in their attention to lighting.”


— Jonathan Holland, The Hollywood Reporter

“The animation is handsome, the graphic settings understated but intelligently detailed. The detailing extends to the work of the voice cast.”


— Glenn Kenny, The New York Times

“It is most striking for how it illustrates that animation isn’t a mere subcategory of cinema (...) This movie is more rewarding as a light human drama.”


— David Ehrlich, IndieWire

“Simó’s sensitive portrait of an often-insensitive genius also belongs to that category of biopic that prefers mining a key chapter to cramming in the whole life.”


— Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
