Guy Lodge Variety Slicing into its protagonist's psyche with surgical finesse and discomfort, this queasy-comic character study pulls off a subtly perilous balancing act... Feb 15, 2020 Full Review Keith Uhlich Hollywood Reporter Matičević is sensational as the lead, keeping his ruggedly handsome features death-mask stoic throughout. Jan 31, 2020 Full Review Nick Allen RogerEbert.com The kind of thriller that Michael Haneke would make after learning he didn't get invited to a friend's party, and Morina's film builds from that influence with his own audacious visual storytelling. Jan 30, 2020 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills A "thriller" in much the same low-key workplace nightmare way that last year's The Assistant was, this is a very discomfiting film made no less so by the fact that our beleaguered protagonist isn't always a particularly sympathetic figure. May 27, 2021 Full Review Frank J. Avella Awards Daily The dangers of both xenophobia and paranoia are examined in Kosovo's potent and engaging Exile... Rated: B+ Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Ram Venkat Srikar Film Inquiry Exile requires a certain level of investment to procure the fruits of the third act, but will certainly leave you introspecting your life, provided you even remotely empathize with Xhafer.
