Absolutely brilliant

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

You will remember the faces of the characters/actors of this film for a long time. The character work is the best thing about this film and that the script hasn't written them as black or white but black and white. Only the killer is somewhat one sided. An atmospheric and gripping story with very interesting actors!

Que Dios nos perdone (May God Forgive Us) Gripping crime thriller set in Madrid. The film does the job and does it well.The plot is straightforward: Madrid 2011, a string of heinous crimes,two unorthodox cops on the hunt for the serial killer.Pacing,editing,photography and camera-work is neat and effective and director Rodrigo Sorogoyen wisely avoids the usual gimmicks and tricks that are used to convey mood and suspense in conventional thrillers. The serial killer behaves likes A criminal that doesn't want to get caught. He becomes more and more hateful as the film progresses.While sticking to the serial killer plot the script allows space to explore the character and private life of the two cops (an aggressive family man and an introvert stutterer) There is also a third protagonist which is the city of Madrid itself with its houses, staircases and landings , the streets in the center and the anonymous housing blocks of the suburbs. As a Spanish language film it strongly reminded me of one of the masterpieces of this century, J.J. Campanella's Oscar awarded "The Secret in Their Eyes" (El segreto de sus ojos, 2009). Hollywood turned "The Secret.." into a clumsy remake, I hope they'll think twice before doing the same with May God Forgive Us.

The most TERRIFYING movie I have ever seen. Amazing acting, film creating and directing work. Not a favorite story but definitely SHOCKING. It also reflects a moment in Spain recent history. I hope to see actor Javier Pererira in Hollywood films soon. Great Casting and Production.

This is one of those movies that surprise you. One of the highlights of the movie is Roberto Álamo's interpretation, who is able to express a lot of emotion with the help of his body language. A body language very violent but that manage to empathize easily with the audience. About Antonio de Torre I was expecting a little bit more because of his previous work, with some memorable and amazing characters.The case we see the film (a real one, i think) and the place and time of the context of 15M (anti-austerity movement in Spain) is a plus for the movie. The script has some great dialogues and the story is very solid. I enjoyed the touch of humor that is implicit in the whole movie which helps to smooth the sordid police case. In conclusion, I went to the theater with no expectation about this movie and came out with a smile on my face, waiting with excitement for Rodrigo Sorogoyen future work.
