«Alfred Hitchcock was huge, therefore he works as planet around which a number of satellites gravitated. Some were meteor dust, but suddenly we can see a new moon, nocturnal and shiny, orbiting it. THE SUSPECT, more than just a movie by José Miguel Ribeiro and friends, is an adventure of paramount importance to Portuguese animation and it owes a lot to the master of suspense. Not only because of an ever-present, eager surprise a foundation, but because of much-more: the richness of cinematographic language, the attention to detail, the way appearances are manipulated, the almost cynical humor, the central roles of the characters, the way they mock conventions, the nostalgia that hides danger, the loose morality; society will never be able to stop the crime.» João Paulo Cotrim
