Patrascu finds himself at odds with two neighbors after he witnesses a domestic quarrel that ends up in murder.

Critics Consensus

With a slow drip of tension and measured minimalism, One Floor Below realistically examines the morality of an average man in Romania.

J. R. Jones

Chicago Reader

Writer-director Radu Muntean occupies his characters with trivial matters but the weirdly ambiguous conflict between the two men eventually comes to a boil.

Barry Hertz

Globe and Mail

Mixes subtle politics and morality in an expert, if discomfiting, manner.

Rated: 3/4

The key to appreciating "One Floor Below" is to keep in mind that it takes place in a country still troubled by its past.

Way Too Indie

Muntean's omissions are blanks for viewers to fill in as they see fit, not holes in the story.

Rated: 7.5/10

One Room With A View

Muntean offers some insight into the routine reality of this Romanian businessman, but ultimately the film sidesteps exploring the moral dilemma that at first seems to be its raison d'être.

Rated: 2/5
