      Ryan Gilbey Independent (UK) The film is over-ambitious, yet the confident direction of Robert Dornhelm helps it hang together. Rated: 3/5 Mar 28, 2019 Full Review Matthew Sweet Independent on Sunday It's a political thriller from which all the politics has been carefully spooned. Mar 28, 2019 Full Review Ed Kelleher Film Journal International Andrzej Sekula's cinematography is a poetic, masterful presence. Jan 3, 2007 Full Review Joseph Proimakis Movies for the Masses full review in Greek Rated: 3/5 Oct 3, 2006 Full Review Urban Cinefile Critics Urban Cinefile The two central characters are not the only ones who wish things had been different.
