The Hollywood Reporter by Deborah Young
The single location and emphasis on dialogue gives the film the feeling of filmed theater. Pacing can be slow and it is only at the end that an exciting use of music helps the film reach an artificial climax of sorts.
Gitai’s latest is a murky, largely po-faced affair, in which no character’s story urgently distinguishes itself from, or even within, a general morass of discontent.
It’s like the most depressing speed-dating night ever organized.
Theatrical, both in its single-location setting and its tone, the film manages to be simultaneously laboured but also oddly opaque.
