Brandon Judell Brandon Judell (Medium) Sometimes, we find something to grasp onto and manage to reshape our despair. This quietly amazing film, with cinematographer Ita Zbroniec-Zajt’s ability to use a palette of whites in the most expressive manner, is one of the better offerings of the year. Rated: 8/10 Jul 13, 2022 Full Review Sarah Manvel Critic's Notebook Writer-director Anna Jadowska has done something wonderful.... This is a movie that shows us the impact of a mistake, detailing exactly what drove our mild, quiet heroine to make it, but without letting her avoid responsibility. Jun 29, 2022 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix This drama shows in stark and unflinching ways what can happen when people with mental health issues can suffer even more from neglect and denial. Dorota Pomykała gives a haunting portrayal of someone trapped in an emotional quicksand of desperation. Jun 27, 2022 Full Review Laurence Boyce Cineuropa Anna Jadowska’s latest film is a stark and compelling examination of twilight-year malaise and a societal attitude towards women that is fundamentally broken Jun 16, 2022 Full Review Tara Judah Screen International Pomykala’s embodiment of a depressive state is unwavering, and she is able to carry both the weight of the character and the wider narrative with admirable stoicism.
