Communion does not push for an emotional response from the audience. It doesn't have to.

Rated: 3.5/4

Los Angeles Times

"Communion" is a heartbreaking example of a classic documentary genre - the immersive, observational film that takes a bold leap and embeds itself with a small group of people.

Kino Mania

"Kitchen sink-esque" only by chance, and more Loach than the Dardenne brothers, Zamecka's debut documentary film is also capable of raising spontaneous smiles from an audience with no artificial additives needed.

Rated: 4/5

While she's not always easy to like, you completely understand what drives her to be demanding with Nikodem and stern with her father.

Ola is a highly watchable character who keeps us fully invested in Communion.
