Dave Kehr Chicago Reader A perfect example of an intensely subjective cinema realized without a single overtly subjective shot. Apr 4, 2019 Full Review Jesús Fernández Santos El Pais (Spain) The plot itself is not new, but it's developed in an unusual way and sharpened by solitude and the need to choose between love, fear, and selfishness.
