Potboiler of potboilers.

Rand's "fool visionary" plows onward with unwavering egotism and is rewarded by literally ending up above it all.

RTCinefiliaFeb 5, 2025

A melodrama that Vidor builds on architectural spaces that have a certain sophistication, but its modern approach lacks emotion, and the narrative often trivializes its discourse on power, individual and the virtue of selfishness. [Full review in Spanish]

RTGone With The TwinsNov 8, 2024

It’s intoxicating and extreme in its focus and perspective (running a touch overlong as it reiterates its themes a few too many times) – and highly compelling (even if the conclusion is tidier than anticipated).
