User review:

Once upon a time in Euskadi is a good mix between childhood nostalgia (Beta videos, bike races, the first porn, playing football with your friends) and those things that once existed but a veil covered and turned , almost automatically, in “adult things” (heroin, ETA terrorism, AIDS). Being able to shoot for a The Goonies Vascos , Manu Gómez has decided to make a more or less faithful portrait of the time, although it falls into some characters without too many nuances and excessively pleasant, as if showing the ravages of the heroine were acceptable but the structural machismo not so much.

There are some questionable decisions (the video clip that is edited halfway through the film with Cerca de las vías , by Fito y los Fitipaldis, the casting of Arón Piper, that a maketo ends up in ETA), but it tries to be a film that does not cause problems in the morality of the viewers and at the same time exposes hegemonic problems of that time from a child’s perspective. He gets it in spades. Everything is harmonious and the unevenness of the gravity of the stories helps ensure that nothing is ever too serious or too light: as soon as they tell you about the problem of a kid who gets lost while riding a bike, such as the death of a character or a failed attack.

The movie rises a couple of notches above your typical feel good movie : pretending to make you feel good for most of the footage, yes, but hitting you with a sledgehammer from time to time so you don’t forget that the 80s were good for children who rented their first porn behind the back of their parents and grandmother, yes, but those who really experienced it in Euskadi had unemployment, drugs, terrorism and little money. Everything has to be said.
