The Guardian

Sep 26, 2019

It’s a disquieting parable of iniquity.

By Peter Bradshaw FULL REVIEW

Empire

Sep 6, 2019

With each subplot reinforcing the simmering sense of unease, this compelling recreation of a pernicious period soberingly exposes the ease with which morality can become a casualty of human nature.

By David Parkinson FULL REVIEW

The New York Times

Jul 11, 2019

Adopting a cool, oblique yet accessible approach that complements the washed-out, nicotine-stained palette, Naishtat builds a modular narrative that increasingly bristles.

By Manohla Dargis FULL REVIEW

Screen Daily

Jul 9, 2019

Writer/director Benjamin Naishtat’s subtle, twisting, state-of-the-nation drama works effectively as a noir-like thriller, and as an exploration of a country that has lost its moral compass.

By Allan Hunter FULL REVIEW

Film Threat

Jun 28, 2019

Benjamin Naishtat directs with a steady hand and a strong vision. Pedro Sotero’s cinematography reveals the place and time in a respectful style that captures the period without satirizing it. This is a film that satisfies on every level and bears repeated viewings.

Jun 28, 2019

The detective plot is shaggy and never fully resolves itself, but the implications of the story resonate like a distant drum.

By Kate Taylor FULL REVIEW

The Film Stage

Jun 28, 2019

I was entertained and perplexed in a way that seemed intentional — my confusion a result of Naishtat giving his audience the credit to read into things with their own historical and political interpretations.
