An effective thriller.
November 10, 2016
A flawed and bland movie unable to pull something out of the way. [Full review in Spanish]
January 27, 2017
A routine thriller that results in coldness, remoteness, distance and indifference despite efforts. [Full review in Spanish]

What Colonia attempts to do is admirable, though it unfortunately comes up transparently empty.
April 14, 2016
It somehow manages to feel more like a Hallmark Channel romance than like a serious film.
January 23, 2017
A kind of romantic intrigue thriller starring a young couple housed in hell. Superficial, indolent and at times ridiculously melodramatic. [Full review in Spanish]

The gears don't all churn at the same speed or with unison of purpose: Is it supposed to be a romance or a thriller?
April 14, 2016
Although genuinely gripping - at times, uncomfortably so - the tale of Lena and Daniel's efforts to escape from Colonia and expose its abuses suffers from a heavy-handed telling.
April 15, 2016
Watson, with her razor-sharp Hermione Granger conviction very much intact, gives us reason to care about her character's predicament even as the dramatics that put her there prove considerably less convincing.
April 15, 2016
Watson and Bruhl give it their best, and Nyqvist makes a powerful villain, but "Colonia" winds up being a movie that wants to get its way on too many levels, and winds up not satisfying on most of them.
