The Ground Beneath My Feet is essential viewing for our anxiety-ridden times.

By Carlos Aguilar FULL REVIEW

Los Angeles Times

Jul 31, 2019

Kreutzer, who wrote the screenplay, proves especially adept, in conjunction with editor Ulrike Kofler, at the natural suspense of pinging between Lola’s professional and personal lives, and where the vulnerabilities in one bleed into the other. It’s a steady tension that’s greatly enhanced by Kreutzer’s spatially conscious visual style.

The Guardian

The transgressive threat approaches and recedes like thunder, leaving us with a study in loneliness.

By Peter Bradshaw FULL REVIEW

The Observer (UK)

Jun 14, 2020

This oppressive, atmospheric Austrian drama takes the kind of alpha female high achiever familiar from Maren Ade’s Toni Erdmann, but undermines her with splinters of Hitchcockian paranoia.

By Wendy Ide FULL REVIEW

Variety

Jun 28, 2019

Without proselytizing, and without distracting from the main thrust of her gripping, intelligent psychodrama, Kreutzer and her predominately female team have created a story both knottily specific and usefully general in its understanding that for many women, an ultimately untenable level of watchful self-control is the price of ambition.

By Jessica Kiang FULL REVIEW

The Hollywood Reporter

Jun 28, 2019

This is at once an accessible art house drama about Lola’s emotionally frayed sisterly and amorous ties and a clinically observed portrait of a 21st-century woman trying to stay afloat in a ruthlessly profit-oriented economy where feelings are the enemy of efficiency.

By Boyd van Hoeij FULL REVIEW

San Francisco Chronicle

Oct 10, 2019

The Ground Beneath My Feet consistently serves as a powerful showcase for the talented Pachner, who manages a performance that is both distant and achingly vulnerable.
