      Jonathan Romney Screen International AEIOU comes across as a whimsical, over-literary, ultimately implausible confection – not in its narrative itself, but in its jarring use of theatricality and a highly rhetorical filmic language. Feb 13, 2022 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety Uneven it may be, but Krebitz’s fizzy, up-for-anything directorial energy ensures things are never dull, matched as it is by Reinhold Vorschneider’s clean, lucid lensing and the oddly compelling chemistry between her well-mismatched stars. Feb 13, 2022 Full Review David Rooney Hollywood Reporter The central relationship never feels convincingly inhabited, despite game work from theater veteran Rois and appealing newcomer Herms. Feb 13, 2022 Full Review Zhuo-Ning Su Awards Daily Solnicki’s films are so singularly beautiful they feel like rare creatures that should be protected. Seek them out if you ever have the chance. Mar 8, 2022 Full Review Jay Weissberg The Film Verdict ...while A E I O Us theme of an older actress and her unlikely relationship with a high schooler thumbs its nose at convention, it sees past bourgeois notions of transgression to locate something not just liberating, but joyful. Feb 26, 2022 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com It’s a film demanding you give into the scenario, and it’s truly worthy of the opportunity, especially to anyone who’s ever been sanctioned by society concerning who it’s appropriate for them to love.
