Critic Reviews

  • Anton Bitel, Little White Lies

    Ibanez uses the island's liminal fringes and barren interiors to trace his heroine's state of mental withdrawal.

  • Anton Bitel, Film4

    Hierro is unquestionably a film of consummate craft and eerie beauty. Give Ibanez a less shopworn screenplay, and one suspects that his next feature will do more than just skilfully coast.

  • Amber Wilkinson, Eye for Film

    Ironically, despite the narrative positively drowning in water imagery, there is never any sense of flowing story.
