Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard This is a film that's not very pleasant to see. But it's a valuable document that you will certainly remember. Rated: 4/5 May 13, 2011 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Be warned: this can be a very distressing film to watch. Rated: 3/5 May 12, 2011 Full Review Nigel Andrews Financial Times A former Soviet scientist and collaborator in the project shrugs his shoulders: "There is no answer to these questions." Isn't there? Isn't the answer that he and his like should, years ago, have been put in the dock for crimes against humanity? Rated: 3/5 May 12, 2011 Full Review Jamie Russell Total Film Butts' moving doc exposes the tragedy of the experiments - not least of all horrific birth defects - as he follows a deformed local woman intent on having a child despite the risks. Rated: 4/5 May 16, 2011 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Rated: 5/5 Oct 15, 2010 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Endlessly inventive film uses its small budget to generate interest. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member No one can speak. Five people interact. Some macabre events occur. This is how a post apocalyptic scenario might develop. Not sure what the message is. A sequence of nihilistic events. Not really engaging. Look elsewhere. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Black and white, art house, post apocalyptic film. Borrows heavily from "Le Dernier Combat", but is still a smart and intriguingly bleak film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Very hard to tell a story without dialogue. It is never explained why they cannot speak. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Add a review (optional)... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
