IndieWire by Eric Kohn

One of European cinema’s most unclassifiable auteurs has delivered the bitter pill we deserve.

Screen Daily by Jonathan Romney

Whatever the film’s flaws, this is certainly the most unrepentantly confrontational work we’ve yet seen from Jude - and perhaps from any Romanian director. And, as the beleaguered, improbable figure of scandal at the centre of it all, stage actress Pascariu impresses with a crisply reserved performance.

The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw

The film is a contemptuous slap at boredom, at hypocrisy and at everything petty and mean. I’m not sure that it entirely transcends all these things, but there’s a rebellious spark.

Variety by Peter Debruge

A simple premise can serve as a portal to profound social critique, for those willing to take the plunge.

The Film Stage by Rory O'Connor

It is an incendiary, playful, and wonderfully exasperated piece of filmmaking that shows a director trying to draw some threads of sense from our current malaise.
