Si bineinteles, Guardian (copyright foto) scrie despre el. Peter Bradshaw - pe care il apreciez foarte mult - ii face o cronica elogioasa, de 5 stele. O mai da si cu bata in balta, descriind-o pe mama lu domnu’ Bebe ca:
an old woman over whom he appears to have the powers of a landlord or accommodation manager.
Iar mai apoi:
the scene continues until a loud and surreal eruption is heard.
Eruptia suprarealista e o minge care loveste Dacia in care sta Otilia si il priveste pe Bebe cum o trimite pe maica-sa in casa.
Guardian mai are si un portret al Anamariei Marinca, careia Emine Saner ii face o descrie senzationala:
I can’t think of another young actress quite like her at the moment. She is hard to pin down. Sometimes she seems really vulnerable, other times fearless. She is 29 and can look 10 years older or 10 years younger. She can talk earnestly about her art, then when I ask her if she is seeing anyone (she is), she says something dreamy about always being in love with something, even if she’s not in love with anyone.
Laura Bushell la BBC:
What results is shocking but never asks for pity. This is a film about cruelty, but one which channels humanity. Brilliant.
James Christopher de la The Times e cam departe de subiect insa recunoaste:
The premise might sound as bleak as a Soviet cement wall, but the film is brilliantly composed and riveting – please see it.
Iar Anthony Quinn (sic!) in Telegraph intrezareste cam putin:
Certainly it’s a gruelling experience, but there are two ways of looking at this. You could say it’s simply an indictment of an iniquitous state system that exposed its people to needless danger and misery; or you could regard it as a portrait of sisterly camaraderie at its most selfless. Greater love hath no woman than to risk all for a friend’s abortion – as will be understood once you see this remarkable film.
Cronici:
Si o concluzie ‘telectuala din TotalFilm.com:
A gruelling, naturalistic account of a backstreet abortion rooted in a grotty social context, this awards-grabber isn’t for the lily-livered. Undeniably truthful, unbearably tense, it’s a stark portrait of humanity in extremis.
Filmul e o capodopera si nu poate fi descrisa in nici un caz in 2000 de caractere.
