"De la Iglesia directs a spirited yet enigmatic film with great strength (...) an impressive sequence shot establishes the key issues of the film (...)"

"De la Iglesia does justice to Alfred Hitchcock in this film. Alfred Hitchcock as the most implausible, ironic and British father of the Mcguffin technique.""

Fausto Fernández

"Mathematically cold and brilliant  (...) This intelligent film intrigues me."

Carlos Boyero
EL PAÍS

"Alex's film is as spectacular as Leonor Watling's: they both have opening sequences that make you tremble (...) entertaining and brilliant."

E. Rodríguez Marchante
ABC

"This film has a lively rhythm and dazzling visual force. The splendid performances from the actors maintain the interest in the plot (...) an intense script that is cold and intelligent."

Alberto Bermejo
EL MUNDO

"Álex de la Iglesia has achieved his objective in a comfortable way. This feature film has an agile rhythm and is a perfect visual performance. Very entertaining."

Manuel Márquez
LA BUTACA

"A film of notable performances and with a sensitive production design."

"Math and murder combine to time-honored effect in "The Oxford Murders," a polished but verbose whodunit that's surprisingly buttoned-down given helmer Alex de la Iglesia's rep for comicbook wackiness. The decision to play it straight, a la Guillermo Martinez's original novel, leaves pic looking as solid and old-fashioned as the city of its title. Some auds will enjoy its plentiful, philosophy-lite bantering and games-playing; others may feel it gets in the way of the entertaining if outlandish plot."

"Movie buffs will enjoy references to Hitchcock, "Sleuth" and "The Usual Suspects."
