Natalia Winkelman New York Times 05/18/2023
The film might aim to deliver an aesthetic and emotional jolt, but it is the mundane, interpersonal moments that linger. Go to Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian 05/15/2023
3/5
Though she might have turned the dial up, Burkovska conveys Lilya’s depression and anxiety, and finally her resilience, with a muted, powerful performance. Go to Full Review Jessica Kiang Variety 06/06/2022
Interesting to analyse in formal terms, especially in its sometimes effective, sometimes glib use of modern tech. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 06/02/2023
It’s not the greatest movie ever about PTSD, or even about the war in Ukraine. But its tough-minded, empathetic integrity always feels authentic. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 05/09/2023
4/5
The film is less timely than timeless, with scenes that are packed with complex issues and personal nuance. And as it takes on bigger ideas, this clear-eyed but over-serious film becomes often unnervingly resonant. Go to Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film 07/20/2022
Lilya’s treatment while captive is only glimpsed in brief flashbacks, which avoid voyeurism and suddenly occur like glitches in the film, the image pixellating as though it is buffering, to reveal a scrap of memory. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
