Reception

Critical response

As per the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, 93% of 43 critic reviews are considered positive, with an average rating of 7.6 out of 10, and critics consensus: "Led by young Sofía Otero's outstanding performance, 20,000 Species of Bees explores an array of weighty themes with gentle humanity."^[34] As per the review aggregator Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 80 out of 100 based on 9 critic reviews, considered as "generally favorable".^[35]

Alfonso Rivera, reviewing the film for Cineuropa, praised Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren writing, "the filmmaker addresses plurality, exploration and transformation with a stratospheric sensitivity." Rivera praising performances of Patricia López Arnaiz, Ane Gabarain and Sofía Otero wrote, "superb work by her actresses, but there are not enough adjectives to commend Sofía Otero (keep an eye on her, it is impossible not to succumb to her talent)."^[36]

Nicholas Bell in IonCinema.com gave the film a score of three out of five, writing, "Touching and without being overly sentimental, Solaguren uses the titular diversity of bees to suggest our authentic roles all play an important part if we are to move beyond surviving to actually thriving".^[37]

The Hollywood Reporter's Jordan Mintzer called the film "A compassionate coming-of-ager" and praised Otero and Arnaiz's performances, calling the former "clearly the centerpiece of the film". Mintzer concluded: "20,000 Species of Bees returns to Ane's [Arnaiz's] loving — most memorably at the very close of the film when she not only firmly stands by her youngest child's bold decision, but appears to be empowered by it. As are we."^[38]

The film featured in compilation '15 films that stood out at Berlin 2023' of ScreenDaily.^[39]

Lee Marshall of Screen International praised Otero's performance, writing, "Sofía Otero is never less than compelling, her face a deep pool that becomes a magnet for the audience". In her concluding paragraph, she compared the film's climactic sequence of people on a search for a missing girl to a similar sequence in the 1973 film The Spirit of the Beehive (which in turn served as an homage to Frankenstein): "It's a masterful touch in an engaging, authentic, moving film about the way society persists in seeing monsters where there are none."^[40]
