	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Allan Hunter Screendaily	"Aliev’s first feature reveals a poise and maturity beyond his years (...) A thoughtful road movie illuminating the fraught fault lines in the relationship between the Ukraine and Russia"	POS
United States	Alissa Simon Variety	"Visually striking, but narratively undernourished (...) The universe of the screenplay (...) is definitely a male chauvinist one"	NEU
United States	Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] is confidently crafted and well acted. However, its dramatic power is diminished by a skeletally spare narrative, which is too light on political and historical context"	NEU
	Bénédicte Prot Cineuropa	"From this allegorical work, filmed in a sober and classical manner, a sad and lacklustre beauty emerges, echoing the situation of this people that is so rarely talked about."	POS
United Kingdom	Phuong Le The Guardian	"Seitablaev delivers a particularly moving performance (...) A compelling, heartbreaking watch (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
