Abstract This review essay examines two recent studies devoted to the child in Spanish film including The Two cines con niño: Genre and the Child Protagonist in over Fifty Years of Spanish Film, 1955–2010 (2018) by Erin K. Hogan and Inhabiting the In-Between: Childhood and Cinema in Spain’s Long Transition (2018) by Sarah Thomas. While both works share the notion of the Spanish cinematic child as a monstrous “other,” Hogan explores the child’s dialogism through ventriloquism in the making of the two cine con niño genres. Thomas, on the other hand, investigates the complex and ambiguous nature of the child in Spanish film during the Spanish Transition.
