Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Chavleishvili is terrific, delivering a performance that carries the picture and sets its tone. Rated: 2/5 May 6, 2024 Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies Naveriani is a natural filmmaker, and she’s gifted with a perfect lead performance for the material. Rated: 4/5 May 1, 2024 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian It’s a film which tells us what most films contrive to ignore: love and sex is not just for the lovely and the sexy and the young. This is a gentle, sensual gem of a film. Rated: 4/5 May 1, 2024 Full Review William Stottor Loud and Clear Reviews Eka Chavleishvili is mesmerising in Blackbird Blackbird Blackberry, Elene Naveriani’s moving tale of female independence in a small Georgian village. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming Naveriani’s Blackbird Blackbird Blackberry is a meditative feminist subversion of a coming-of-age tale, spearheaded by a magnificent turn from Chavleishvili. Rated: 4/5 May 1, 2024 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Filmmaker Elene Naveriani maintains a slow-burning vibe that ripples with underlying humour and tensions. The characters are wonderfully real, while the film has a colourful, sardonic Kaurismaki-like quality that's thoroughly winning. Rated: 4/5 Oct 31, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Jon T It’s often the small, quiet films which amongst the best. A film about many things- life in a small village, how the past determines our present, chance, ordinariness, beauty and even cake. It takes it’s time and will on the whole appeal to older people and anyone with a heart. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
