'Atmospheric and haunting' NEWSWEEK 'Passionate, complicated, bursting with life.' - A.O. Scott, NEW YORK TIMES 'Winningly special... a startling performance from Dina Korzun...' - Nick James, SIGHT AND SOUND 'One of the year’s most intelligent and startling indie works.' - Phil Hoad, DAZED AND CONFUSED 'Wonderfully acted by Korzun and Torn. Recommended.' - Tom Dawson, TOTAL FILM 'Quite wonderful' - David Gritten, DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Achingly stylish.' - I-D MAGAZINE 'Dina Korzun is electrifying!' INTERVIEW 'Torn does a great job with the character of Alan, never simply turning him into an ogre and always aware of how his own world has shaped him for the worse. It’s Laura though, as played excellently by Korzun (a Russian actress best known here for her role in Pawel Pawli- kowski’s 'Last Resort') who proves the most fascinating. Quiet and often silent, she’s a character forced into twin public and private role, each as uncomfortable as the other. Sachs meanwhile, pulls everything together with an auteur’s touch, moving between pleasing naturalism and more opaque, impressionistic moments. Most satisfyingly, his impressive portrait of a skewed relation- ship resists any easy resolution; for that alone, and for much more besides, this sits apart from most American indie film today.' - Dave Calhoun, TIME OUT
