3/5
I'm not sure I quite believed the way in which this story is played out, but there is an abrasive energy to it. Go to Full Review
Simran Hans Observer (UK) Mar 21, 2021
4/5
The film refuses to get bogged down in the bleakness of Oleg's predicament, with Kursietis's irrepressibly lively handheld camera emphasising his protagonist's sense of perpetual forward motion. Go to Full Review
Guy Lodge Variety Jul 9, 2019

Vassilis Kroustallis Film Is A Fine Affair Nov 30, 2019
Kursietis successfully mounts tension in a gripping drama of characters which won't stray away from its main target: to show that a European dreamer can be a contradiction in terms. Go to Full Review
Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film Jun 2, 2019
3.5/5

2.5/5
Although Oleg presents a familiar scenario and avoids melodramatic tactics, it's difficult to imagine Kursietis standing out amongst other contemporary Baltic titles, but it's an often understated offering featuring a fine lead performance. Go to Full Review
