	Media	Author	Review
		Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"It’s a pitiless, violent story that in its telling becomes a haunting and haunted intellectual and aesthetic achievement."
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Fierce, horrifying and brutal (...) A masterpiece (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Ann Hornaday The Washington Post	"Tough, unsparing, unexpectedly poetic (...) A harrowingly naturalistic portrait of how tyranny seeps into and distorts the lives of the citizens it touches"
		Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"It conveys unblinking and despairing emotional truth with enough intensity to leave you gasping for air."
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"This is a powerful film and a stark visual accomplishment (...) Anamaria Marinca gives a masterful performance (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
		Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly	"Misery is everywhere in this spare masterpiece, but so is artistic triumph"
		Scott Tobias AV Club	"Mungiu keeps the camera running for much longer than other directors would, (...) The rest of the film, in the process of dealing with the issues of reproductive rights, captures the tenor of a particular era with uncanny force."
		Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer	"The absolute clarity of the storytelling, the aching authenticity of the performances make for a film that will stay with you for at least as long as the period alluded to in its title"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Marinca gives the kind of performance awards are made for (...) The same goes for the filmmaking (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
