  • Summary: Austere direction, stark imagery and magnificent performances combine in a memorable portrait of a vulnerable and humane young man, blossoming in the toxic soil of a devastated country. This beautiful and moving feature, set in modern-day Kazakhstan, depicts the hard choices a young man makes when he's caught between poverty, crime and love, guided only by his wits and his better nature.

    A stunning drama from that remote former Soviet republic.

    Schizo is in its way a taut and exciting thriller.
  3. The brutality of the fights and Schizo's growing ability to outfox his enemies make for a taut and exciting little picture.
