The rise and fall of the most distinguished Polish-Gypsy poetess Bronislawa Wajs, widely known as Papusza.

Jonathan Romney

Observer (UK)

I could have stared and stared at the opening shot alone. But visuals apart, this biopic is frustratingly slack.

Rated: 3/5

It's a profoundly depressing tale, but beautifully photographed in black and white.

Guardian

As it is, the film is a bit of a slog and bizarrely, given the subject matter, rather lacking in poetry.

Rated: 2/5

Kino Mania

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

Rated: 3.5/5

Immaculately composed in loving widescreen, the portrait of the gypsy camps brims with life.

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.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

This is a beautifully photographed movie. It portrays the lifestyle of Roma people along with creating a portrait of the first published Roma poet; Papusza.
