The nervy handheld camerawork and natural lighting connect Glory aesthetically to the similarly pessimistic naturalism of Romanian cinema while displaying an even darker, lugubrious Slavic edge.

Rated: 4/5

Seattle Times

Stefan Denolyubov, as the linesman, and Margita Gosheva, as his nemesis, are painfully on-target in this Bulgarian satire.

Rated: 3/4

Grozeva and Valchanov relate their morality play with ... fluid, grimy realism ...

TAKE ONE Magazine

If SLAVA proves anything, it is that corruption doesn't need absolute power: large scale indifference and selfishness can start a deep rot that spreads.

Glory is a sophisticated, well-made, all-too-real satire - a chilling contemporary snapshot - that's very well worth seeking out.

Rated: 4/5

Shadows on the Wall

There's an almost Kafkaesque quality to the odyssey of a simple, honest man who gets caught up in a maze of vile bureaucratic mayhem

A very solid slice of life film. That does at points aims wandering around doing nothing

A very nicely executed drama filled with bitter realism about modern-day Bulgaria and, perhaps, the Balkans in general. Corruption and inequality seem to triumph causing honest people who believe in any kind of fairness or justice to be seen at least as dumb, if not dangerous or manipulable. This only leads towards one direction: the film's finalé cleverly shows that.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

"Something is rotten even in the state of Bulgaria": Shakespeare already knew it, it is known everywhere and since forever; moreover, with a style steeped in sarcasm and realism, the film is lost in a foregone parable in the results and in the performance. (Mauro Lanari)

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

No good deed goes unpunished. Interesting characters in a often funny story of graft and bureaucracy.
