The film finally has no heart for any guile and remains beautifully sincere.

Rated: 4/5

Boyd van Hoeij

The Hollywood Reporter

Observant and wise about boys in puberty yet impish and carefree when necessary and never idealizing the cold and dreary countryside they travel through, Winter Flies is a lovely little film that's as comfortable as an old sweater and almost as warm.

It's the performances that stay with you, and the two young first-time-actor leads are a revelation.

However open the ending is, its vibe is exhilaratingly positive, and it was the right decision on [director Olmo] Omerzu's part to swing that way.

CineVue

Told through a non-linear narrative and brimming with warmth, Winter Flies is an effortlessly charming third feature from the director of Family Film and A Night Too Young.

Rated: 4/5

A film packed with sheer feeling and wicked immaturity. It has little to teach, but plenty to offer.

Rated: 4/5

Two boys, one a 12-year-old and the other a 14-year-old embark on a road trip across the Czech Republic in a stolen Audi, as they'll encounter lots of adventures and misadventures along the way. The humor here can be quite crude and outrageous, but I only found part of it to be effectively funny, while the remainder fell flat or might be categorized as mean-spirited or just evoked sadness.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
