Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter Emanuel Parvu has fashioned the kind of competent if predictable drama that will tick the right boxes for festival regulars hungry for work that affirms their prejudices against bigoted hicks in all the fly-over countries of the world. Jul 8, 2024 Full Review Justin Chang The New Yorker Though the movie is persuasive enough as an indictment of small-town religious fundamentalism and homophobia, it proves curiously incurious about Adi’s perspective, to the detriment of its own human pulse. May 30, 2024 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) There are some interesting ideas here from the director and co-writer Emanuel Parvu about the legacy of communism on Romanian lives. But the primary narrative is weak, Adi is a non-character, and the film is often visually bland. Rated: 2/5 May 20, 2024 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending There's something somewhat satiric even in the most sinister sequences, where Pârvu seems to be having a wink at the more sophisticated (and I mean accepting) audience members who can see just how ridiculous people steeped in a culture of hatred can act. Rated: A- Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Alistair Ryder AwardsWatch It’s hardly the most egregious example of an LGBTQ story being pitched primarily towards a straight audience, but when touching on traumatic material to the extent this does, a little queer perspective wouldn’t have gone amiss. Rated: C+ Oct 13, 2024 Full Review Àngel Quintana Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Emanuel Parvu uses the structure of an investigative film to create a portrait that is sustained by the excessive use of dialogue and a series of comings and goings.
