Tom Long

Detroit News

This is writer-director Maya Vitkova's first feature and she deftly blends the mundane, the operatic and the bittersweet.

Rated: B

Spectrum Culture

Vitkova, in a beautifully realized debut, has distilled a very personal story into something universal.

Rated: 2.5/5

Charles Mudede

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

There is a lot of poetry in this Viktoria, and it has a sequence of news and video footage that, with a dramatic score, brilliantly captures the year that launched the world we now live in, 1989.

Film Inquiry

Viktoria is a family epic, told with pathos, humor, honesty and humility, and is possibly the most inventive and singular film I've yet to see this year.
