"As boring as a trip across Kansas on a Greyhound bus."

B
"Full of sympathy for the worker's plight."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
"'Mondays in the Sun' captures the small drama of the individual buffeted against larger impersonal events of local, national and world politics and economics."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
"Si Los Lunes al Sol es una película tan humana, tan sensible y tan reveladora es porque hemos visto esos personajes acá nomás, a la vuelta de la esquina."
Uruguay Total
Enrique Buchichio
C+
"It has nice little touches, and some solid performances, but in the end nothing is accomplished. It is as though the film itself is unemployed."

Eric D. Snider
B
"Engaged filmmaking that makes a political point, and the observant script and incisive direction give it considerable power."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
"Mondays in the Sun is a deeply ethical movie that has a universal quality to its depiction of the soul-destroying capacities of unemployment."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
B
"If nothing else, watch it for Javier Bardem, who is rapidly establishing himself as among the world's very best at his craft"

Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
3/4
"Instead of pacing, it offers terrific performances and a wonderful sense of small-time tragedy"
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
3.5/4
"Aranoa’s storytelling is full of fire and nuance, and his striking, heartbreaking, mutedly hopeful film exhibits the spirit of its Italian neo-realist predecessors."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
3/5
"Another staggeringly strong performance by Javier Bardem."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
3/5
"Bardem proves once again, as he has in movies’ past that he is one of the most talented actors that can be called upon time and time again in the Spanish film world..."
Film Threat
Rory L. Aronsky
2/4
"While there's a certain poetic symmetry to a lethargic film about lethargy, it doesn't make for a terribly edifying viewing experience."
