Der perfekte Chef

...Bardem’s natural style and charisma keeps the film in place.

Javier Bardem stars in the wickedly warped Spanish film as a charmer with no clue that he’s a creep.

It’s a decently constructed piece of fluff that is way too soft to exert any real lasting impact. Yet the reason to see it is for Bardem’s masterful, completely committed lead turn.

A motley crew of characters, each with their own vignettes (...) makes 'The Good Boss' feel like 'The Office', a delicious, dry, ensemble satire, but Bardem’s inherent magnetism veers it into Shakespearean/Succession territory.
