Movie Reviews

Filmjourney - 10/10 by Doug CummingsThe film's vaguely uncanny and disquieting tone is due to several factors, including its emphasis on death, loss, and decay...In many ways, the film is a lament and warning for Spain's future.
Electric Sheep - 10/10 by Virginie SélavyThe film fluidly moves between reality and fantasy, past and present, never delineating them clearly, suggesting they all have the same texture in Ana's mind and are part of the same continuum.
Total Film - 8/10 by Tom DawsonA richly shot, impressively acted film containing a powerful, bleak vision of both childhood and a repressive adult world.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 8/10 by Tim RobeyIt unfolds like a kind of morbid reverie, reverberating with strange frissons about what one generation passes to the next, and how even rebellion is a kind of heirloom.
Guardian - 8/10 by Philip FrenchThe title refers to the old saying: "Raise ravens and they'll peck your eyes out."
New Statesman - 8/10 by Ryan GilbeyHer [Torrent] expression in Cría cuervos is blank and beautiful, her gaze unfaltering. It's no exaggeration to say that there would be no movie without her: so much of the characterisation is embedded in her stillness.
Radio Times - 6/10 by David ParkinsonAs the child who believes she has power over death after witnessing the demise of her father, Ana Torrent superbly conveys that mix of terror and innocence that is unique to childhood.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 6/10 by Emanuel LevySet in 1974, the last year of Spanish dictator Franco's regime, Carlos Saura's melodrama draws intriguing analogies between a girl haunted by hallucinations and the broader political context.
User Review - 10/10 by Nadia VUn film sur le monde de l'enfance, son innocence, ses croyances ... Très beau ! Et une belle musique ...
User Review - 10/10 by Gene FDark and witty. This was a great movie. The only thing I would have done differently was shave off a few shots at the end.
