Wendy Ide Screen International [An] immersively harrowing feature debut... Nov 24, 2021 Full Review Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn Even if not astounding, this shows an incredible amount of promise both in front of and behind the camera. Rated: B Feb 15, 2022 Full Review Vassilis Kroustallis Film Is A Fine Affair The film's treatment of its material sometimes looks too sprawling, yet it has its moments of audience being lost in repetitive scenes, plus an assured lead performance. Rated: 3/5 Dec 23, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Gabor C Amazingly fresh and original great directing, (although Godard's "Breathless" comes to mind...), inventive and shockingly original camera work, realistic and great acting! Best Hungarian movie I seen in a very long time. Talented crew from start to finish! Why is it not a big box office hit? The theme and subject matter is utterly depressing; it's hard to watch the violent communist regime's brutality and their short-sightedness, so it is not a Barbie movie, for sure. (thanks God!) But nevertheless, the movie is beautifully made and deserves great recognition! Highly recommended for true cinema lovers! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
