The director finally returns to the places where he feels most comfortable, building a comedy that seems to be reflected in Luis García Berlanga, and that manages to portray the idiosyncrasies of an entire country in a particular story. Impressive Javier Bardem in a character that balances perfectly between cartoon and reality, supported by a script that is precise in timing and structure.

This was a disappointment, it wanted to be an essai movie, instead it was quite a simplistic plot of a boss trying to fight lots of unlucky encounters. And in the ending, it gives a very forced and a bit wrong (due to the rest of the plot) message regarding inclusivity. Such a film needs to make the audience reflect and debate, but this one is unable of such things.
