Reviews
“No part of the moviemaking business is spared in Competencia Oficial, a smart and biting story about a millionaire who decides to consecrate his legacy by financing a film. … for viewers willing to go with the flow, the film serves up roughly two hours of sharp reflections deliciously wrapped in entertaining antics.”
Lovia Gyarkye

The Hollywood Reporter

“Seeing Cruz and Banderas show off their comedic chops is definitely a pleasure, and the farcical final scenes will leave viewers on a high.”
Nicholas Barber

indieWire

“Wondering just how far this film will go is half the fun, and directors Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat choose their moments to push the tone from sharp observational comedy into absurdity…”
Anna Smith
