Hannah McGill, The List
Stange, dark and clever, with a sense of Rabelaisian excess and moral murkiness that's tempered by an ambiguous but unexpectedly forceful moral message, the film address personal responsibility, cruelty and creativity in shady times ...
-
Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]
It's full of idiosyncratic, almost suicidal directorial choices - a noodly guitar score, inexpressive, doll-like actors - yet weirdly cuts to the heart of a country that's been taken over by such unlovely characters.
-
David Jenkins, Little White Lies
Fits all the richness and lurid eccentricity of a Scorsese gang epic into 83 pocket-sized minutes.
-
Matthew Turner, ViewLondon
Blackly comic, deceptively deadpan Russian drama that's both surprisingly moving and contains moments of genuinely shocking violence ...
-
, Scotsman
Allegorical, violent, blackly comic and occasionally bewildering.
