Asia

Pribar's humane and heartbreaking drama is beautifully photographed and performed; a loving, warm, and even sexy film about death and dying that is teeming with life.

Asia and Vika struggle to emerge as full-fleshed characters from the movie's dull, blue-grey frames, while the script rushes through provocative plot turns in its bleak procession toward a wrenching conclusion.

Asia is Ruthy Pribar's feature-length directorial debut, but it evinces an old hand's confidence.

From Daniella Nowitz's muted, intimately lit lensing to the plaintive, judiciously used piano strains of Karni Postel's score, every formal element of "Asia" serves to illustrate and enrich the tricky, evolving relationship at its center...

Rigorously unsentimental...

Sets itself a modest target and hits it dead on. A good film.

Asia is an outstanding showcase for Haas...

Asia might not be an easy film to sit through with its honest interpretation of the relationship between pain and love, but it is without a doubt one of the best films of the year.

The camera follows the evolution of the characters with the patience of the observer. [Full review in Spanish]
