Critics Consensus

R.M.N.'s spare, elegant approach lends a deceptively cool surface to its caustic take on cultural divisions.

Alonso Duralde

The Film Verdict

Cristian Mungiu’s tragicomic examination of EU economics, refugees, and Christmas delivers both as blistering social commentary and an unsparing portrait of community groupthink.

Irish Times

RMN is the Romanian acronym for “nuclear magnetic resonance” and, sure enough, modern master Cristian Mungiu’s urgent, fiercely intelligent migration drama doubles as a laser-enhanced dissection of European hypocrisies and contradictions.

Rated: 5/5

The Reveal (Substack)

Though Mungiu takes a heavy hand with the symbolism, particularly in a head-scratcher of a final moment, his main characters remain irreducible in the face of a conflict that’s seemingly cut-and-dried.

Rated: 3.5/5

Joshua Polanski

Boston Hassle

The closest a movie has come to replicating that feeling of being an unwanton and unmoveable observer in a dark, monstrously racist alt-right space.

Cinefilia

Mungiu, with a sociopolitical view, offers a sober diagnosis of intolerance, immigration and the strong xenophobia of a Romanian society closed in on itself as a horde at the service of national identity. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 7/10

From the Front Row

Has a dry sense of humor that turns this dark tale into a kind of cautionary satire, an incisive mockery of small town politics and nationalist fervor.

The film is defined by one’s acceptance of the art & ambiguity of its ending. I was moved by it.

I don't understand all the high ratings and reviews. It was ok, but didn't make much sense at times, and the ending was just dumb. Seriously the dumbest ending ever.

This is a dark film…..lots of character tensions & building. It's a slow burn with a brilliant finish. Must watch.

More mysterious than I had expected. I also think that the movie has one of the more convincing depictions of a town collapsing in on itself.

Darkly rich and utterly engrossing, R.M.N is a study of tribalism, and nationalism.
