Mark Kermode Observer (UK) Dec 6, 2015
4/5
Gosheva dominates the screen, her expressive face leading us through a minefield of conflicting emotions toward battle-hardened resolve. Go to Full Review
Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Dec 3, 2015
4/5

Peter Bradshaw Guardian Dec 3, 2015
4/5
There's an awful fascination to this bleak movie from Bulgarian writer-directors Petar Valchanov and Kristina Grozeva, whose feature debut has something of the deadpan drear and social satire of the new Romanian cinema. Go to Full Review
Pablo O. Scholz Clarín Jan 20, 2018
The film is a criticism of the system, exploitation, corruption and usury. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Jorge Ayala Blanco El Universal Sep 20, 2017
The feature debut of the Bulgarian directors, Grozeva and Valchanov, is heir to the best Italian post-neorealism. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Javier Porta Fouz La Nación (Argentina) Oct 10, 2016
A film with a coherent audiovisual appearance but abuses of the "the world is horrible" card. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
