The gutting question “Fugue” poses is whether any of us can ever go back to being who we once were.

A strange, emotionally intelligent and hugely sympathetic portrait of a woman in crisis, in Fugue Smoczyńska has solidified herself even further as one of the most visionary Polish filmmakers working today.

Like The Lure, Fugue is brilliant. Smoczynska...gives us complicated female characters who smirk, fuck, and f*ck sh*t up.

3/5

More a drama than a thriller, despite the nocturnal peregrinations of the protagonist, Smoczyńska’s sophomore film is a poignant take on the process of learning anew how to experience beauty and emotions in a rootless present.

A wonderfully surreal film that explores the pressures that are placed on women to live for others, rather than for themselves.

This was a sad movie. The acting was great but had a rotten ending. If you like movies that are good but have a sad ending, I recommend it to you. Otherwise, not.
