Galician cinema, in general, is notable, like the vast majority of Spanish cinema, for its lack of quality, with notable exceptions such as some Vacafilms productions. However, "Jacinto", directed by Javier Camino, stands out in the midst of this trend.
Camino's direction is effective and maintains the viewer's interest. Pedro Brandariz, despite his rough-and-tumble appearance, offers a solid and convincing performance in a serious role, showing his ability to take on deep roles.
Juanma Buiturón's performance is particularly noteworthy, providing an intensity that enriches the film. Although violence is not a central theme, when it appears, it is handled in a striking way. The music and makeup complement the atmosphere of the film well.
Although "Jacinto" does not reach the level of a masterpiece (which is still a long way off), it deserves a 6 to 7 star rating. It is a well-executed film that has been valued at festivals such as Sitges.
