I could have stared and stared at the opening shot alone. But visuals apart, this biopic is frustratingly slack. Go to Full Review Ed Potton The Times (UK) 03/31/2016
3/5
It's a profoundly depressing tale, but beautifully photographed in black and white. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Guardian 03/31/2016
2/5
As it is, the film is a bit of a slog and bizarrely, given the subject matter, rather lacking in poetry. Go to Full Review Giuseppe Sedia Kino Mania 03/25/2024
3.5/5
Krauzes’ feature is centred around the poet’s tragic persona rather than on her verses, which are barely heard throughout the movie. The Krauzes’ latest effort is an averagely interesting biopic about a great, naïve artist Go to Full Review Kevin Harley Total Film 01/02/2017

06/03/2020 Şiirin filmi, filmin şiiri. Taş Bebek, ilk Çingene şairlerden biri, Romanca adı Papusza ile tanınan Polonyalı Bronisława Wajs'ın yaşamının ve şiirinin siyah-beyaz görüntülerle keşfi. Parçalanmış kurgusu aynı zamanda Papusza'nın ve Çingenelerin parçalanmış hayatlarıyla örtüşüyor. Çingenelerin sırlarını bir yabancıyla paylaştığı için dışlanan, şiirlerinin lanetli olduğuna inanan Papusza'nın etkileyici yolculuğu. See more 05/16/2020 This is a beautifully photographed movie.
