In the Company of Women (Spanish: Las buenas compañías) is a 2023 Spanish-French drama film directed by Sílvia Munt which stars Alicia Falcó, Itziar Ituño, and Elena Tarrats.
[1] The film is a Spanish-French co-production by Irusoin, Oberon Media, En la Frontera Película, Manny Films, La Fidèle Production, with the participation of EiTB, TV3, and RTVE, and support of ICAA, ICEC, and the Basque Government.
[5][1] Matías G. Rebolledo of La Razón considered Las bueñas compañías, ultimately a film about insolence, to be "didactic but not instructive, empathetic but not sentimentalist, realistic but not historicist".
[7] Víctor A. Gómez of La Opinión de Málaga assessed that Falcó's central presence dwarves and renders inane the rest of performances, efforts from Munt notwithstanding.
[8] Jonathan Holland of ScreenDaily wrote that the film brings a "fresh female perspective" which, "despite its tragic undertow, is best seen as a celebration of those heady, transformative times [the 1970s] and a reminder of what solidarity can achieve".
