Critics reviews

De jueves a domingo is an exemplary group study constantly separating and interlocking its different members, perpetually shifting between the dynamics of the entire ensemble, some of its parts, and an individual perspective (often belonging to Lucía).

With Thursday till Sunday Sotomayor has crafted a compelling mix of road movie and coming-of-age story.

Those alert to arthouse cliché may identify it in the drifty pace, the child's-eye viewpoint and the theme of bourgeois concealment of secrets and lies. But Sotomayor's confident direction of her extremely accomplished young cast... and her skilled management both of screen time and of the flow of plot information draw added value from what might have seemed like an overextended short-film subject.

Sotomayor handles the drama with careful restraint; her style is beautifully indirect and understated.
