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 The 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 Elsa Fernández-Santos El Pais (Spain) ...Pârvu, from a well-calculated distance, makes a resounding statement against the structural homophobia of his country, where, we are told, homosexuality remains a stigma. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 13, 2025 Full Review Desirée De Fez Fotogramas In a beautifully written, acted, and precisely directed film,...Parvu conveys the anguish of the protagonist, increasingly harassed by his surroundings, in a very distinctive way. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Jun 13, 2025 Full Review Nando Salvá Cinemanía (Spain) It makes up for its relative simplicity with its skillful handling of rhythm.
