A much more particular film that we could imagine. [Full review in Spanish]

The medium of animation lends itself well to weaving these dream-like visions because Land Without Bread was not in the strictest sense a documentary. [Full review in Spanish]

Devoid of the obscurity, Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles is a stark contrast to the film it is woven around. It is coherent, perceptible, and unusually entertaining in a largely mainstream way.

More than what is usually expected from great artists' hagiographies. [Full review in Spanish]

Buñuel and the Labyrinth of the Turtles is an often complex affair that tries to fit much in within a scant 75-minute runtim

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 10, 2020

Although at first I am captivated by the beautiful animation of 'Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles', I soon perceive a timed indulgence and a narrative inertia that removes my interest in the story. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/10 | Aug 8, 2020

The idea that this was when the great provocateur discovered compassion is a touch simplistic, but Simó expresses it through elegant storytelling.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 20, 2020

With its dust and sherry-toned colour palette and starkly angular character design, it will intrigue animation fans.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 19, 2020

As a"making of" movie, however, it's instantly gratifying and easily comparable with Les Blank's Fitzcarraldo film Burden of Dreams.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 18, 2020

Labyrinth of the Turtles is a charming and occasionally moving love letter to the legendary Spanish-Mexican surrealist, and at a spry 80 minutes, doesn't outstay its welcome.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 17, 2020

An engaging if somewhat demure animation, bordering occasionally on a kind of gentle sentimentality that is inimical to the subject...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 16, 2020

This speedy portrait of the surrealist as a young man has its own discreet charms.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 15, 2020

provides a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the country's most famous filmmakers.

| Jul 13, 2020

At its heart, the film tells an incredibly touching - and altogether unexpected - human story. Entertaining and educational in equal parts, Simó's animated film is one you don't want to skip.

| Original Score: A- | Jun 8, 2020

The animation is nothing remarkable, but the story is compelling, especially for Buñuel fans.

The film reminds us of the power of the image. [Full review in Spanish]

Beautifully animated, and the sequences dramatizing the surrealist visions that visit Buñuel in his dreams are striking.

| Jan 6, 2020

I liked the concept of this movie but the beautiful animation makes it worth a watch. Very creative

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 3, 2020

By confining itself to a certain slice of life, it becomes a solid and considerate effort, almost soothing in its treatment of the celebrated director's inner troubles and external obstacles. Definitely a film to watch.

| Dec 16, 2019

Buñuel In The Labyrinth Of The Turtles is also worth watching in its own right and one hopes that it will draw more attention to this important piece of cinematic history.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 4, 2019
