Three decades after their separation, Irina and Nana remain mesmerized by memories of earlier days. However, when Irina returns to the small community she left, where Nana stayed to start a traditional family, the women must reconcile with the past.

Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

It becomes like something from the 1960s counterculture, yet is as coolly paced and controlled as everything that has gone before.

Rated: 3/5

The Hollywood Reporter

As the movie doesn't cohere at the end, you're left feeling cheated by the fact that it has required so much patience up until then.

Wendy Ide

Screen International

Understated writing and low key direction places a burden on the performance aspect of the film. But with the stillness and impassivity of the central characters, it's a challenge that the actors struggle to meet.

Film Is A Fine Affair

Thoughtful without being solemn, it secures an immediate identification with its characters and their own past-to-present trajectory.

Alex Heeney

Seventh Row

Tamar Shavgulidze's quiet, lovely Comets is a film about memory, missed opportunities, and lost loves. At just 71-minutes, it's short and sweet, but packs an emotional punch thanks to strong performances.

Madeleine Wall

Cinema Scope

Shavgulidze wisely braids in flashbacks of the quiet, intimate moments between her protagonists, curled up on a blanket or playing cards, leaving the fraught moments of youth to be recounted, absent direct representation, by their present-day selves.
