Austin Chronicle

For Harden, it’s an impressive debut that raises questions about the difference between a tourist, refugee, and immigrant, and explores how sometimes you have to travel a long physical distance to find what’s always been inside yourself.

The Black Sea may not have the most intricate of stories, but its initial set-up and eventual metamorphosis into a reflection on what matters in life most creates a warm, delightful atmosphere...

Cineuropa

Partially inspired by Harden’s experiences in Bulgaria, the film delivers with tenderness on its promise of found family in the most unexpected of places, complete with comedic strokes.
