“The film’s riches come from Rohrwacher’s seemingly inexhaustible wealth of ideas...”
★★★★★ Wendy Ide, Observer
“A beguiling comedy-fantasy of lost love.”
★★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
“It stirs up a fierce protectiveness in the viewer. Treasure this now, hold it, turn it, and examine it from all sides, or it may slip beyond your grasp.”
