The New York Times - Manohla Dargis

Mr. Loznitsa doesn’t lighten the mood with any familiar filmmaking tricks: there are, for instance, no musical cues to guide you over the troubling or ambiguous passages. Like the characters, you work through each surprising turn. Read full review

This is a masterpiece of serious cinema; long, slow and grave as the grave. Read full review

Los Angeles Times - Betsy Sharkey

Jul 11, 2013

Intimate in the telling, sweeping in the implications, Loznitsa has created an unusually incisive film. Read full review

The Guardian - Peter Bradshaw

May 20, 2013

This is a psychological drama that takes place in occupied Belarus during World War II. The movie is very slow (a bit too slow for my liking) but dramatic, thought provoking and filled with emotions. The main character faces moral choices where there are no good solutions and no escape.

It is a bit slow, particularly for an American viewer; it is more in line with European cinematographic tradition of discovering the main character's inner world through portrayal of their everyday life, whatever it is; not just an action. Even when there is an action, it is not a non-stopIt is a bit slow, particularly for an American viewer; it is more in line with European cinematographic tradition of discovering the main character's inner world through portrayal of their everyday life, whatever it is; not just an action. Even when there is an action, it is not a non-stop one. Something quite dramatic happens and there is a pause, just like in life. It allows to reflect on what has occurred and how you presented yourself and how you are going to live from this point on.… Expand
