Critics reviews

Moment for moment, it's one of the most enjoyable movies around; Ruizpalacios is clearly drunk on the possibilities of filmmaking, and his enthusiasm is infectious.

A not-very-bright film about a very intelligent topic, Museo tries to hedge its bets one too many times.

In both of his films, [Ruizpalacios'] assured compositions and other stylistic strategies convey an easy, practiced mastery together with a joy of filmmaking that is infectious. Here, he receives notable support in the terrific work of cinematographer Damián Garcia and composer Tomás Barreiro.

Slow-moving and grand, with lush music and elegant wide-screen compositions, it feels less like a thriller than a poetic, intermittently comic meditation on beauty, history and middle-class disaffection.
