Philip De Semlyen Time Out Haunting and narratively spare, its a plea for humanity wrapped inside a gripping survival story. Rated: 3/5 Mar 18, 2022 Full Review David Parkinson Empire Magazine Filmed over 13 days in Tuscany and based on genuine Balkan Route testimony, this is an innovative, immersive insight into the migration crisis that also reveals much about human depravity. Rated: 4/5 Mar 15, 2022 Full Review Marina Ashioti Little White Lies Portrays unsettling realities to a visceral and succinct effect. Rated: 3/5 Mar 15, 2022 Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) Rashid’s film-making is impressive: the movie’s best sequences are full of tension. Rated: 3/5 Mar 20, 2022 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia The camera sticks to Kamal, tracking his relentless, confusing and terrifying flight. Capturing the desperation and suffering thanks to an impressive central performance from Ali. Mar 15, 2022 Full Review Jay Weissberg The Film Verdict Yes, the title is generic and yes, a film about a refugee in Europe may sound like one of many, but push all that aside because Haider Rashids sensorial Europa is a work of immersive power.
