Irish Times

It's a magnificent achievement, but it's seldom pleasant to behold.

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

The talented young writer-director Tomasz Wasilewski has an eye for eloquent framing and touches of absurdity, both of which evoke the work of Austrian film-maker Ulrich Seidl.

Rated: 4/5

Little White Lies

Despite aesthetic merit, it's a depressing and emotionally barren film that fails to hold interest.

Rated: 2/5

Giuseppe Sedia

Kino Mania

Wasilewski has proven to be a skillful drama hopper capable of moving at ease from one character to the other before leaving them all on the verge of unraveling, emotionally united by the uncertain in-betweenness of a new era

Rated: 4/5

One Room With A View

United States of Love fluctuates between frustrating, shocking and alienating its audience through its pace, content and stylisation.

Rated: 2/5

Battle Royale With Cheese

Magdalena Cielecka is mesmerising on screen and it is her performance that gives this film its power.

Cold and unpleasant viewing, another well observed and beautifully shot piece from Tomasz Wasilewski.

This was a bit of a slog. It started off great with the back drop to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the lust for Western goods (how the video shop was never done for privacy is beyond me) the final act sees that it finishes strongly but in the end a disappointment.
