Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlNov 22, 2016
Lang is uncommonly assured for a first-time director, capturing her scenes in fluid master takes, rarely cutting from one character to the next, letting things unfold at the pace of in-the-moment human feeling. Read full review

The New York TimesGlenn KennyNov 25, 2016
It’s very fresh and often very funny stuff, communicated in a direct, unforced style. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenNov 25, 2016
Rachel Lang’s first feature isn’t about placing Ana on the road to her life’s purpose; it’s a serpentine trip through impetuous leaps forward and messy retreats. Read full review

The GuardianPeter BradshawNov 21, 2016
It is such a beguiling performance from Richard, natural, unaffected, unselfconscious, you find herself rooting for Ana, although what form success might take for her is a mystery. Very impressive work from Lang. Read full review

Screen DailyJonathan RomneyNov 21, 2016
Baden Baden is an intimate, at times seemingly whimsical narrative that appears to drift almost free-associatively from episode to episode. But it’s unified by a distinctive humour and intelligence, crisp visuals, and Richard’s intensely charismatic presence. Read full review

It will drive some viewers up the wall, but fans will feel the rush of discovering a unique new director and, in Richard,a gawky yet captivating screen presence. Read full review

CineVuePatrick GambleNov 21, 2016
Littered with keen observations about modern life and gentle moments of dark humour, this tale of how we live now masks a tender exploration of the human body as the last refuge in a world of binary oppression. Read full review

Total FilmStephen PuddicombeNov 21, 2016
Writer/director Rachel Lang’s film lacks cumulative dramatic punch, its appeal rooted mainly in its easy humour. Read full review

Slant MagazineClayton DillardNov 20, 2016
The film plays like it's been methodically configured to snuff out an even marginal indulgence of its characters' emotions. Read full review
