"May God Save Us" (Spanish: "Que Dios nos perdone") was released in 2016, set against the backdrop of Madrid during the 2011 economic crisis and social unrest, which was reflected in its tense and atmospheric narrative. Upon its initial release, the film attracted positive critical attention for its gritty storytelling, strong performances, and the way it wove real historical events (like the 15-M movement and the Pope's visit) into its crime thriller plot. However, it did not achieve widespread commercial success and remained relatively under the radar among general audiences.
Over time, "May God Save Us" has steadily gained a dedicated following and is now regarded as an underrated gem within the Spanish thriller genre. Film enthusiasts appreciate its complex character development, social commentary, and the way it captures a turbulent period in Madrid's recent history. While it may not have reached cult classic status, its reputation has grown significantly, shifting from a modest thriller to a well-regarded film that deserves more recognition.
