Roger Ebert
It helps to be open to the whimsy, the silly, and the creative essence of 'Problemista,' or face Elizabeth’s wrath with no source of joy for reprieve.

AP News
Julio Torres' 'Problemista' is an off-kilter and very winning movie from a rising artist who thrillingly reflects his own toy maker’s singular, idiosyncratic mind.

Rolling Stone
It’s such a great Tilda turn, one you could put beside her work in Snowpiercer and Michael Clayton and her Almodóvar short The Human Voice, that it not only eclipses Torres’ storyline and the miscellaneous business around it, but the movie itself.
