Critic Reviews

V.A. Musetto

Boasts dynamic performances by the two leads, as well as tight directing (a lot happens in just 82 minutes) and eye-pleasing cinematography (by Alain Marcoen, who also lenses for Belgium's acclaimed Dardenne brothers). Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Mitevska telescopes centuries of conflict between nations into an intimate story of siblings whose hopes for the future are being slowly poisoned by the sins of the past. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

Successfully conveys the pervasive anxiety of a country on the brink of civil war. Read full review

Deborah Young
