Dying Beyond Their Means

Upon being interned in a psychiatric hospital, five citizens whose lives were thwarted by economic crisis concoct a plan to kidnap the president of the Central Bank to get things back to the way they used to be.[9] Distributed by Versus Entertainment,[2] it was released theatrically in Spain on 24 April 2015.Neil Young of The Hollywood Reporter welcomed the "commendably brave and wildly unexpected career curveball" by Lacuesta with the "cockeyed" comedy film, underscoring as a bottomline that the "tartly topical satire takes wobbly aim at easy targets".[11] Carlos Boyero of El País lamented that, with the film, he felt "directly assaulted by embarrassment, that ungrateful feeling of cringe".[12] Sergio F. Pinilla of Cinemanía rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, writing that despite the astonished reaction of a part of the critics, "the experiment works" with Lacuesta's irreverent humor managing to [both] surprise and offend.
