The Good Boss (El buen patrón)

Wednesday, September 28 until Thursday, September 29, 2022Yukon Theatre

Javier Bardem is superb in this entertaining satire about leadership and power.

Awaiting a visit by a committee that could give his company an award for excellence, the owner of an industrial scales manufacturing business tries to resolve all the problems his workers are embroiled in before the officials arrive. Everything has to be perfect when the time comes. Working against the clock, Blanco pulls out all the stops to address and resolve issues with his employees, crossing every imaginable line in the process.

In Spanish with English subtitles.

Recommended for ages 13+ for mature content.

"It’s mesmerizing to watch such a powerful actor underplay so effectively. The more familiar Blanco feels, the more unsettling he becomes."

- Elizabeth Weitzman, The Wrap
