Marya E. Gates RogerEbert.com Kulumbegashvili leaves us wondering if the only solution for all of us is to completely return to nature. Sep 11, 2024 Full Review David Ehrlich indieWire There is so much rugged poetry contained in this film, and yet the palpable, gnawing horror is what sees it through. Rated: A- Sep 7, 2024 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety An uncompromising, intensely felt panorama of female identities, agencies and desires under attack, April manages to be both a work of controlled formal rigor and unleashed, often overwhelming human feeling. Sep 7, 2024 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest “April” is exhilarating when Kulumbegashvili is unconstrained by history, creating her own unique cinematic language to speak so intimately to a tragedy on both an individual and societal scale in an entirely fresh way. Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Zhuo-Ning Su Awards Daily There’s great mystery to April. You don’t understand it so much as intuit or inhabit it. Kulumbegashvili’s storytelling is based on a visual language all her own, for me the true mark of a great director. Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Sarah Manvel In Their Own League The suffering of women and girls is the unspoken secret across every society... and doing something about it is the thankless challenge of people like Nina. But with this incredible movie, Ms Kulumbegashvili has made that work just a little easier. Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
