Museo is a highly watchable...heist film...However, its most unfortunate aspect is that it still decides to play it too safe, preferring to go for a narrative that is obvious, melodramatic and forgettable...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 9, 2024

A bold and provocative portrait of the human condition, challenging the viewer to look beyond appearances and confront uncomfortable truths about ourselves. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jun 10, 2024

Ruizpalacios layers in critiques of Mexican society, colonial history and more in a complex yet very entertaining film.

| Oct 21, 2020

Museo is a greatly appealing, bizarrely touching, fun and involving crime caper-come-character piece.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 28, 2020

Museo is a film about our delusions of grandeur -- on a national scale, an artistic scale, and a personal scale.

| Feb 18, 2020

[Ruizpalacios] exhibits all the free-wheeling and eye-popping visual confidence of a more seasoned filmmaker, not someone who's delivering just their second feature.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jul 31, 2019

(Museum) is not a caper movie, nor a road movie, not a thriller or an author's movie which transcends genres. At most, it's a bad drama. [Full Review in Spanish]

| May 29, 2019

In making a tale that fictionalizes the perpetrators of a true-crime landmark, Ruizpalacios tells a pulp story that's almost a genre unto itself.

| Apr 25, 2019

It is only occasionally that its mild tones go beyond the expected, yet even so, it stands as a low-key fun overall with some refreshing takes on the genre.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 2, 2019

Ruizpalacios' fictionalized account, even with all its embellishments, has far more honesty in it than any confession could hold.

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

Ruizpalacios loses his way towards the end...It's a sour note in an otherwise highly watchable hybrid of a film.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 6, 2019

Ruizpalacios relies on anecdotes to show reflections about time, sense of responsibility, identity and art itself. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 18, 2019

Even knowing the outcome of their crime, both characters elicit sympathy and you wish them well, despite the sheer ignominy of their nationally impacting theft

| Original Score: B | Jan 10, 2019

"Museo" is slightly frustrating on first watch, as its themes lie partly hidden behind Bernal's intentionally abrasive performance and the mix-and-match filmmaking of Ruizpalacios.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 10, 2019

...cinematographer Damián García knows exactly how to shoot it, the boys feet magnified as the gingerly step through archeological models, his camera swiveling until they are upside down on screen, then casting their shadows on a wall...

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 31, 2018

Bernal is too old to play ingénue, but his commitment to the film's genuine if sophomoric passion is laudable. The film's deep patriotism is remarkable.

| Dec 17, 2018

It's a rapt and rapturous chronicle of a trip to nowhere. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 26, 2018

Woven with uncertainties, Museum leaves a certainty: that of the already imposing height of Ruizpalacios as a filmmaker. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Nov 26, 2018

Moviegoers looking for the kind of zip found in an "Ocean's" movie may feel a bit lost at sea with "Museo" and its offbeat rhythms and quirky charms. But the rewards definitely will be greater, if you keep an open mind.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 19, 2018

Even after the story runs out, it's still a joy to watch.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 16, 2018
