	Media	Author	Review
		Kaleem Aftab Cineuropa	"It is a touching and surprising exploration of masculinity that features a stunning central performance from former Olympic wrestling champion Levan Tediashvili"
		Alissa Simon Variety	"The melancholy-infused narrative neatly balances rueful humor with genuine sweetness (...) The mix of professional and non-professional performers adds to the film’s naturalism"
		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"The atmosphere of the picture is rather more compelling than its somewhat workmanlike plot. (...) Koguashvili deftly blends tones in his vividly realised snapshots of Georgian manhood"
		Christian Gallichio The Playlist	"A compelling and somewhat tangential portrait of the Eastern European community that exists in Brighton and features a great performance by Tediashvili, in his first film role."
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"It marks its Georgian director as a filmmaker to watch (...) The film benefits greatly from the imposing, quietly dignified presence of its unlikely leading man, Levan Tediashvili"
		Rory O'Connor The Film Stage	"Touching (...) Equally warm and melancholic with a rich vein of tragicomedy (...) Koguashvili's crisp aesthetic is notable for its idiosyncrasies: a film of familiar locations seen through fresh, discerning eyes"
