Release
The film premiered at the San Sebastián International Film Festival on 21 September 2021.[18][19] Distributed by Tripictures,[18][20] it was then released theatrically in Spain on 15 October 2021.[18] It became the 4th highest-grossing Spanish film release in the domestic market in 2021 with a revenue of 3,278,021 € and 518,254 viewers in the aforementioned year.[21]
Cohen Media Group acquired US rights to the film.[22] Distributed by Bim, it theatrically released in Italy on 23 December 2021 as Il capo perfetto,[23] whereas, distributed by PRIS Audiovisuais,[24] it opened in Portuguese theatres on 20 January 2022 under the title O Bom Patrão.[25] The film was set for a 28 April 2022 opening in Argentine theatres.[26]
The Good Boss was announced as the opening film of the 39th Miami Film Festival (4 March 2022).[27] A 9 June 2022 release date was set for the film's opening in Chilean theatres, distributed by Star Distribution.[28]
Reception
On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an 93% rating based on reviews from 27 critics.[29]
Guy Lodge of Variety gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Fernando León de Aranoa's corporate satire is too long and languidly paced to pull off its farcical inclinations, but it gets by on its star's magnetism."[2]
Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Slickly entertaining, considering its rather weighty subject matter..."[1]
Javier Zurro of El Español deemed the film to be the best Aranoa film since the 2002 Mondays in the Sun and the best Spanish comedy in (many) years, a genre dominated for some time now by either family comedies or remakes of international titles, generally lacking in original proposals.[30]
Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas gave the film 90 out of 100 points, deeming it "excellent", praising the "sharp script", the (actors') direction, and the "careful mise-en-scène".[31]
Quim Casas of El Periódico de Catalunya considered the film to be "a good tragicomedy of social criticism that could well be the counterpart to Mondays in the Sun".[32]
Jonathan Holland of Screen Daily considered the film to be "slickly-made and entertaining, but ultimately a little déjà vu".[8] Plotwise, he deemed the film to be "as smooth and efficient as a well-run factory".[8]
Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas gave The Good Boss 4 out of 5 stars, highlighting an immense, eminent Javier Bardem in one of his most dazzling performances to date ("he is, quite simply, the movie"), also considering that Aranoa offers viewers a dark comedy displaying a grim portrayal of labour relations.[33]
Reviewing for Cinemanía, Santiago Alverú gave the film 5 out of 5 stars, writing that the political commitment from León de Aranoa and Javier Bardem mixed with the expressive talent of both of them have created a highly entertaining vindication, concluding that "except for Amancio Ortega, the whole of Spain should like it".[34]
The AACCE selected the film as the Spanish entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 94th Academy Awards over Mediterraneo: The Law of the Sea and Parallel Mothers,[35] and it made the 15-film pre-nomination shortlist in December 2021.[36] It also chose the film as the Spanish submission for Best Ibero-American Film at the 64th Ariel Awards.[37]
