Film Inquiry

A visceral expression of the artistic need to survive and preserve, Rule of Two Walls is one of the most vital and poignant documentaries of the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival.

La Estatuilla

Gutnik understands that making something, be it a film, a sculpture, a poster, or a rap song, is a way of resisting, existing and give visibility. [Full Review in Spanish]

Aisle Seat

It leaves you angry at the injustice Ukrainian citizens are enduring, but also inspired by their determination to stand up for the country they love.

Rated: 3.5/4

Culture Mix

Harrowing and inspiring, the documentary Rule of Two Walls sometimes gets unfocused in its cinéma vérité style of showing how some Ukrainian artists responded to and were affected by the war that began in 2022. It's still very insightful filmmaking.

Eye for Film

As the film progresses, and these artists and filmmakers articulate their response to the conflict both verbally and through their work, Gutnik also interrogates the importance of culture when it comes to establishing and preserving nationhood.

Rated: 4/5
