I liked this idea, but I could not fall for it... I could never believe this way real, and I wanted to.

A really heady little film that seeped into me.

Variety

From its cramped, off-the-cuff shooting style (mostly in washed-out monochrome) to its persuasive ensemble, "My Friend the Polish Girl" mostly pulls off the documentary pretense with wily skill.

Film Threat

Altogether, My Friend The Polish Girl shows the dark side of female friendships and documentary filmmaking in an interesting way.

Rated: 6/10

Film Is A Fine Affair

As a study in personal (rather than national) loneliness, My Friend the Polish Girl is a crisp, somehow unfinished, but still personal study of a woman looking for intimacy.

Flickering Myth

My Friend the Polish Girl is an interesting cinematic experiment with plenty to say about the filmmaking process. It's just occasionally unwilling to come out and say it.

Rated: 3/5

I saw this film at the festival in Edinburgh and I'm still trying to get my head around it. It's such a strong, complex and intensive story and touches on so many subjects close to my heart. This was really something else! Very fresh, very new, very innovative yet a really touching film. Please see it if you can!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
