The Good Boss

Reviews

• "The Good Boss is designed to be an acting tour de force for Bardem, and it’s certainly that... It’sa memorably dominating performance."
  - The Arts Desk
• "Reminiscent of the Coen brothers’ trademark cinematic sarcasm...slickly entertaining"
  - The Hollywood Reporter
• "It’s Javier Bardem’s show as he reunites with Fernando Leon de Aranoa for this parable of power. "
  - Screen International
• "It’s smartly shot and nicely paced by the writer-director Fernando Leon de Aranoa, and occasionally taps into some zany Coen brothers energy."
  - Times (UK)
• "Fernando León de Aranoa’s THE GOOD BOSS pairs star power against workers rights, nepotism against sex, and desire against human rights, it’s undoubtedly the best satire I’ve seen this year and a great display of Spanish cinema."
  - Drink in the Movies
• "It’s a comedy, but no laughing matter. It’s the blackest of satires -- the kind in which a smiling face hides a monstrous heart."
  - Sydney Morning Herald
• "THE GOOD BOSS memorably depicts the facade of modern capitalism and industry. It is also the film for which Bardem should have been nominated for Best Actor."
  - Impulse Gamer
• "An impressively slick and slimy performance from Javier Bardem is the standout selling point for this serviceable if (perhaps appropriately?) workaday satire on corporate corruption and alienated capitalism."
