No one actor appears onscreen for very long, but each performs with such intensity that the movie feels like one long, continuous scream.

Plays more like a series of shorts of variable quality rather than a coherent whole. Still, Komandarev's empathy for people struggling to survive as best they can is palpable and admirable.

A series of cab rides in nighttime Sofia give a well-observed impression of Bulgarian society in Stephan Komandarev's film.

Directions is a strong, angry and artistic work. ... Komandarev's film is unusual in that it deliberately sets out to rip the mask off Eastern European reality.

4/5

A cleverly constructed piece of low-budget filmmaking, Directions punches well above its weight. Sometimes funny, sometimes suspenseful, sometimes heartrendingly bleak, it's a smart way to explore a city and human behaviour.
