      Pat Brown Slant Magazine In the end, Fernando León de Aranoa’s film suggests that there may not be a lot of daylight between a good boss and a true villain. Rated: 3/4 Sep 9, 2022 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Wickedly warped. Rated: 3/4 Sep 2, 2022 Full Review Peter Sobczynski RogerEbert.com Whether or not Blanco is able to save his factory, Bardem is able to navigate the narrative missteps surrounding him and ultimately make The Good Boss worth a look. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 2, 2022 Full Review Stephanie Bunbury Deadline Hollywood Daily Bardem soars in these settings: soothing, dissembling and manipulative. As a modern Machiavelli with an MBA in management, he is riveting. Sep 16, 2023 Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia It's usually a black comedy that enjoys a compelling performance from Javier Bardem, but often loses its satirical balance and falls into weary boredom as it outlines his social critique of unemployment, injustice, and capitalism. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 5/10 Aug 4, 2023 Full Review Ronak Kotecha The Times of India 'The Good Boss' keeps you hooked throughout its clever screenplay depicting everyday scenarios with unique twists. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 14, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
