Critic Reviews
“The entire cast is quietly superb and the movie always knows exactly
what it is and what it wants to say.”
– RogerEbert.com
“Nacho Vigalondo's giant-creature-run-amuck fantasy is a brilliantly
bizarro satire of gender politics, featuring Anne Hathaway in a funny, fierce,
fully committed performance that demands to be seen.”
– Rolling Stone
“Vigalondo demonstrates that even the dumbest genres can be used to
profound ends – not cheapening serious things but kicking them to the next
metaphoric level.”
– Vulture
