Awkwardly combining a dystopian science-fiction thriller with an anti-capitalist satire, this muddled saga of socioeconomic class warfare suffocates any worthwhile messaging in heavy-handed sanctimony.

Hope for a potent conclusion is lost when editing can’t shape a more succinct understanding of corruption.

An ambitious, 100% Spanish film with a big budget, shot in English with a solid international cast, magnificent workmanship from national artists and technicians, Rich Flu offers more than a 25-second shocking hook. [Full review in Spanish]

The style of Gaztelu-Urrutia's film is reminiscent of other dystopian futures, although it does not achieve the same visual and narrative intensity that is required of it. [Full review in Spanish]

The movie wasn’t nearly as bad as people have made it out to be, or giving it negative reviews. I love post apocalyptic movies and with this cast line up it wasn’t bad, while a little rough in the beginning and a little confusing it gets better in the second half. Overall not a bad survival story especially with elites taking a dirt nap.

Philosophically, the premise is strong, but as far as plausibility, it requires the largest suspension of disbelief in the history of the universe. This might have been okay, but the laughable premise makes the "narrative," if you want to call it that, cause there isn't much of that, and the third act is interminably long. This movie gets slower and slower, and then the end is ... eh.

Not sure why this movie isn’t up for awards. It’s telling the story of every person who lives underneath the billionaires - 99% - who work to make people rich. The social implications are obvious. The immigrant analogy is clear. It flips the script and man, I guarantee if every citizen sees this and rises up together - a literal civil war… we actually might make things better. Anyway, great movie!
