All things are not as they seem in this Spanish-language dramedy from Goya Award-winning director Fernando León de Aranoa. Javier Bardem, in a very different kind of role, sets out the unraveling of the titular character with precision and sly mastery, underplaying his motives with every step.
“The Good Boss provides prime material for Bardem, who has to maintain a polished veneer even as his character’s mendacity and troubles mount.” — Ben Kenigsberg, The New York Times
“The Good Boss pulls more weight than you’d expect, and Bardem is in charge of the pulling.” — Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
