In 1948 Hungary, a doctor and widowed Holocaust survivor forms a strong bond with a 16-year-old girl who refuses to believe that her parents have died. Their relationship helps both of them cope with grief and life in post-war Europe.
Variety by Alissa Simon
In his sophomore feature, the France-born, Budapest-based helmer (perhaps best known for his prize-winning 2018 short “Chuchotage”) sensitively establishes and sustains an affecting but understated dramatic tone, aided by his superb leads.
Los Angeles Times by Robert Abele
Barnabás Tóth’s richly acted film exudes a faith in human connection as relevant today as such relationships needed to be in the years after World War II for survivors of unimaginable trauma.
Wall Street Journal by Joe Morgenstern
It’s a coming-of-age story about the coming of unlikely, unbidden hope.
The Hollywood Reporter by Todd McCarthy
Nearly every scene offers a general backdrop of tragic sadness leavened by the quotidian necessity of fulfilling basic requirements, doing a job, tending to the moment-to-moment needs of others and finding hope wherever one can.
The New York Times by Ben Kenigsberg
Those Who Remained leaves much unsaid about their pasts, sometimes at the risk of seeming coy (the word “Jewish” is never spoken). But Hajduk and Szoke are strong performers.
