Heinrich, a cranky 93-year-old, hires Afghan refugee, Adib, to dig his dog's grave. Adib falls unconscious from a wound but refuses to go to a hospital for fear of deportation. And the two strangers, Heinrich and Adib, spend a dramatic night together.

Eye for Film

It has a freshness about it that's only partially rooted in its willingness to break with formula.

Rated: 3.5/5

Alex Lines

Film Inquiry

Nobadi successfully avoids being just another brazen genre exercise, its rapid alternation between blood and brotherhood is deftly weaved throughout its delicately modulated tone.

Film Threat

Markovic's Nobadi is a film you'll never forget. It's going to make your head spin and possibly cause you to lose your lunch.

Rated: 8.5/10

The Film Stage

[That] we only get the [heart-wrenching moments via] the "convenience" of murder means any empathy I might have felt was negated by Markovics' pursuit for hollow provocation.

Rated: C

Cinema Scope

While it at first feels welcome that the film doesn't slide into the easy grooves of a "common-ground" story that doesn't reflect lived realities, Makovics has only replaced that rote narrative with a litany of empty hatred.
