Cutting between present, childhood, and recent past, Bispuri constructs a subtle, richly emotional collage. Read full review

Given its nearly episodic structure, formal choices, and similar thematic inquiries, Sworn Virgin suggests an unofficial remake of Vivre Sa Vie. Read full review

Bispuri’s feature debut makes a powerful statement about the suffocation that can come with gender norms, and about the double-edged sword of gender performance. Read full review

Patrick Gamble

It feels like every script-reader in the Italian-Swiss-German-Albanian-Kosovo coproduction cut out a line of dialogue in each scene, leaving behind an irritating silence and an enigmatic puzzle for the audience to second-guess. Read full review

Sworn Virgin takes similar things and familiar places to merge them to the ultimate finale we've been given. Laura Bispuri's first film has been a success so far and let's hope for the best for her directing career.
