Peter Bradshaw Guardian Muratova’s movies do not yield their meaning easily or repay attention with a conventional emotional payoff, and so require close reading. But there is a fierce, individual intelligence at work. Rated: 5/5 Sep 11, 2023 Full Review Natalia Winkelman New York Times An audacious portrait of two women on the cultural fringes pining after the same man. Aug 24, 2023 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills More neo-realist than soap-operatic, the film displeased authorities by emphasizing the complex individuality of people who may serve the State, but whose discontents reflect its own systemic failures.
