Irish Times

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

Rated: 4/5

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

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.

Cinemanía (Spain)

An episodically narrated choral film, that stands out due to the formal consensus between the filmmaker Wasilewski and the famous Romanian photo director Oleg Mutu. [Full review in Spanish]

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.
