Critic Reviews of "The Motive (El autor) [Sub: Eng]"
VarietySeptember 21, 2017Cuena's neutral tone does little to maximize the black comedy or suspense in the story, making for a film with a great hook that plays as just a mildly outré divertissement.
Hollywood ReporterSeptember 11, 2017A high-risk shot at a screen adaptation of a novel within a novel, The Motive is entertaining and buzzes with fun ideas, but as an involving drama, it never gets past the first chapter.
CocalecasApril 10, 2018A good story, but it's resolved in a hurry. [Full Review in Spanish]
Film ThreatJanuary 17, 2018The Motive is a fascinating film about an average and bland man. The story Alvaro is writing may be exciting, but he's still observing the exciting life of others rather than experiencing it himself.
El antepenúltimo mohicanoNovember 21, 2017The Motive goes from a deeply Spanish comedy... to a kind of thriller of intrigue that does not lose sight of its playful dimension. [Full review in Spanish]
Cinema ScopeNovember 14, 2017Watching The Motive is akin to hearing an artist expound at length on the tedious specifics of their process, a feeling made all the more wearying by the blinkered nature of said approach.
Cinemanía (Spain)November 14, 2017... [director] Martín Cuenca reigns... [Full review in Spanish]
SensacineNovember 10, 2017A disturbing atmosphere, a disturbing environment. [Full Review in Spanish]
Eye for FilmOctober 05, 2017Cuenta's command of visuals continues to impress ... But he never quite settles in term of tone and his approach to the Álvaro is too clinical.
