The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw
What DAU. Natasha shows is the bizarre way that, in totalitarian societies, the normal and the abnormal, the banal and the grotesque, and the human and the inhuman live together side by side.

The Film Stage by Rory O'Connor
It is a staggering film; one that defies categorization and a unique achievement that must be seen to be believed.

IndieWire by Eric Kohn
DAU. Natasha is haunting and effective, but not always the sum of its parts, and sometimes has a tendency to drag. Even so, the spell lingers long after the credits roll, and the opportunity to consider the many sides of DAU. Natasha is a unique intellectual exercise.

Screen Daily by Jonathan Romney
Natasha certainly proves that Khrzhanovsky is a risk-taker, and his actors even more so. But it’s a puzzling, inconclusive drama that doesn’t quite hold its own outside the parameters of the overall project.

The Hollywood Reporter by Stephen Dalton
Big on atmosphere but low on drama, DAU. Natasha is fascinating conceptually but weak cinematically.
