What to Know

Critics Consensus

Tangerines' impassioned message and the strong work of a solid cast more than make up for the movie's flawed narrative and uneven structure.

Tara Brady Irish Times Those faultless performances make something special of the material. Many will find it disconcerting to be reminded of the many conflicts... that blew up following the fall of the Soviet empire. Worth cherishing. Rated: 4/5 Mar 2, 2016 Full Review Wendy Ide Times (UK) A quietly profound study of the unfathomable nature of conflict. Rated: 4/5 Sep 18, 2015 Full Review Sophie Monks Kaufman Little White Lies The funniest and most profound film about war since Dr Strangelove. Rated: 4/5 Sep 17, 2015 Full Review David Lamble Bay Area Reporter Zaza Urushadze's slow-percolating drama finds a simple farmer navigating a perilous truce between warring factions in the 1992 border war between Georgia and Estonia. Jun 8, 2020 Full Review Antonio Sison National Catholic Reporter You'd find that in investing 87 minutes of your time for "Tangerines," you had viewed not just a poignant anti-war film, but a beautifully realized cinematic parable. Apr 30, 2019 Full Review Lucy Popescu CineVue Pitch-perfect performances and Urushadze's careful unwinding of the story ensure Tangerines is never less than riveting.

Tuuli R Lembit Ulfsak is my childhood hero (a fox, just like me), I have seen everything with him so this was his true masterpeace. it is a movie about putting your fate at the hands of fate. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/17/23 Full Review Audience Member fun, but not that earth shaking. this was on someone's list of top 10 greatest films on Prime. This it is not. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review claudio v A very good anti-war movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The themes of the film are things you've seen before but that doesn't matter much when it is done in such a masterful way. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review yash b "Tangerines" is a little slow at first, but sticking with it is worthwhile. The movie has some strong ideas and solid performances. By the time it reached its final act, I could clearly see what the movie was trying to say and there is something truly beautiful and humane in it. The pacing of this short movie can be overlooked due to the strong message and impressive work from the cast. Overall, it is a movie with a simple enough premise but says something that is deep, true, and timeless. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I really enjoyed this movie. Good character development. Definitely worth the watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
