	Media	Author	Review
		Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"A beautifully crafted minimalist adventure."
		Peter Debruge Variety	"[The] visual style is simple but eye-catching (...) [It engages] us in its unconventionally scripted journey (...) One can’t help imagining what Zilbalodis might do with a team of collaborators"
		Laurence Boyce Cineuropa	"'Away' feels like a complete and satisfying movie in its own right (...) A master class in building an engrossing narrative without using dialogue."
		Rafael Motamayor SlashFilm	"An impressive feature debut that has plenty of heart to captivate its audience, and a large world filled with possibility and wonder that will leave the audience wanting to see more."
		Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"It’s the type of achievement that makes audiences remember an artist’s name."
		Charles Solomon Los Angeles Times	"Viewers weary of the detailed look and upbeat tone of many big-budget American films may enjoy contemplating Zilbalodis’ highly personal, austere vision"
		Leslie Felperin The Guardian	"Wondrous and weird – see it before Tenet (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
