Variety

It poignantly addresses some big themes - including the plight of asylum seekers and female alcoholism - while capturing the feelings of restlessness derived from being stuck in a remote place with a lack of opportunity.

The Wee Review

Standard rom-com template is enriched with a keen social conscience, striking performances and an affectionate sense of place in Miia Tervo's raucously enjoyable film.

Rated: 4

Screen International

Spiky, funny and desperately sad, Aurora is the tempestuous core around which this intriguing feature debut from Mila Tervo rotates; powerful and singular enough to overcome the romantic comedy trappings of the narrative.

Film Threat

All in all, Aurora is a feel-good, starkly-contrasted romance about two people at their ends of life, looking for a new beginning.

Rated: 8/10
