Geoff Andrew Sight & Sound Notwithstanding the echoes of Cocteau and Malick, there is undoubtedly something different, fresh, even devil-may-care audacious about the first two thirds of the movie. Feb 24, 2018 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian This movie has moments of real interest and visual beauty, but it is hampered by the most tiresome arthouse clich: the idea that drifting sensual moodiness and listless sexual tension finally has to be crowned or possibly redeemed with violence. Rated: 2/5 Feb 22, 2018 Full Review Jonathan Romney Screen International Whether or not the payoff is truly substantial, at the very least Grning offers the kind of challenge that most contemporary film-makers wouldn't even attempt. Feb 21, 2018 Full Review Zhuo-Ning Su Awards Daily Executed with such cold, slick precision, the images are likely to haunt you long after the credits rolled.
