The gripping but doleful "Golden Dawn Girls" reminds us that, depending on where you stand, a dawn can look like a sunset, and this one looks to be ushering in a very long night. Go to Full Review Guy Lodge Variety 05/02/2018
The three women's distinct, contrasting personalities carry "Golden Dawn Girls" at an intriguing microcosmic level, to the point that the film identifies the party's menfolk as little as possible. Go to Full Review Susan G. Cole NOW Toronto 05/02/2018
3/5
Bustnes inserts himself into the film, sometimes getting in the way of the action. And his line of questioning to the women gets repetitive. But he exposes the party's Nazi sympathies and fascist agenda and those tiki torches are truly terrifying. Go to Full Review Nikki Baughan Screen International 05/02/2018
It's in the quieter moments where the light of truth shines brightest. Go to Full Review Bill Chambers Film Freak Central 05/02/2018
3.5/4
Every Nick Broomfield-esque cut to Bustnes's look of constipated despair holds up a deadpan mirror to the viewer, providing that spoonful of gallows humour that makes the bleakness go down. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

10/19/2020 I'm not sure the director succeeds. It seems he has a very simplified view of Greece in his mind and the approach on the matter is not the best possible. I don't think that a "neutral" spectator would come to form a particularly negative opinion about those neo-nazi women if they are portrayed as everyday people (who may have even been brainwashed by their family?). There is an awkwardness all around. See more 09/28/2019 Very fascinating film that attempts to convey a 360 image of a group of people who have such a narrow degree of tolerance for people outside their small circle. To seek depth and humanity from such a group is the main conflict in the film outside the group’s conflict with anyone besides themselves. A definite must see nonetheless See more Read all reviews
