Ben Croll TheWrap This ballad finds a groove and rides it out, showcasing the director’s chops and the star’s commitment while shining little new light on the ostensible subject. Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Justin Chang The New Yorker Why make a film about Eduard Limonov, the globe-trotting Russian dissident poet and punk provocateur reviled for his pro-fascist sympathies? The filmmaker Kirill Serebrennikov never musters a satisfying answer in this muddled English-language bio-pic. May 30, 2024 Full Review Isaac Feldberg Little White Lies [Whishaw] has never had a role quite as complex and contradictory as that of Limonov... It’s a fascinating, slow-motion car crash of a performance: destined for destruction, spiralling magnificently all the way down. May 24, 2024 Full Review Javier Ocaña El Pais (Spain) A film with hardly any complexity, much more exhibitionist than profound, which wanders through a film biography in a film that is too formalistic. [Full review in Spanish] Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Roger Salvans Fotogramas ...a film with impressive formal muscle...but with a repetitive discourse, loaded with unnecessary underlining and, also, very self-satisfied. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2/5 Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Fernando Bernal Cinemanía (Spain) Serebrennikov places his feverish style above the cursed poet. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
