Documentary A portrait of the artist as a young woman. Apolonia is talented, but is that enough to break into the art world? A film that covers 13 years in an anything-but-average life.

	Author	Review
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"Glob's unusual, compelling film 'Apolonia, Apolonia' invests grandly in Sokol herself, making the artist a kind of living installation that Glob's camera intimately observes over the course of 13 years"	POS
United States	Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter	"Sincere meditations on art, motherhood and friendship"	POS
United Kingdom	Neil Young Screendaily	"The absorbingly intimate portrait of an artist (...) We are left with the suspicion —and the hope— that this will not prove their final cinematic collaboration"	POS
	Marta Bałaga Cineuropa	"This simple, intimate IDFA winner"	POS
United Kingdom	Phuong Le The Guardian	"The hypocrisies of the art world are exposed in this epic undertaking that sees the development of both the film’s subject and its director (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Marya E. Gates IndieWire	"Lea Glob's portrait of the artist is so intimate and close that it loses its focus (...) a doc that often remains distant and distorted through these multiple lenses. "	NEU
United States	John Fink The Film Stage	"A meditative exploration of identity, work, and evolution"	POS
United States	Alissa Wilkinson The New York Times	"It’s a movie about life and how it’s lived, with Sokol’s portraiture forming a pleasing harmony rather than a narrative backbone."	POS
United States	Tomris Laffly rogerebert.com	"The kind of film whose essence patiently and gradually materializes like an abstract painting in the making (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
