Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter 07/08/2024
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. Go to Full Review Justin Chang The New Yorker 05/30/2024
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. Go to Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 05/20/2024
2/5
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. Go to Full Review Dionar Hidalgo Algo Más Que Cine Aug 24
7/10
'Three Kilometres to the End of the World' is a tense and powerful portrait of queer repression in rural Romania. Strong performances and striking landscapes give it weight, but reliance on familiar tropes makes it feel less daring than it should. Go to Full Review Elsa Fernández-Santos El Pais (Spain) Jun 13
...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] Go to Full Review Desirée De Fez Fotogramas Jun 13
4/5
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] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
