Drama Natasha works in the canteen of a secret Soviet research institute. She drinks a lot, likes to talk about love and embarks on an affair. State security intervenes. A tale of violence that is as radical as it is provocative.

	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"Fascinating multimedia art project fails to deliver onscreen (...) DAU. Natasha ultimately lacks dramatic force."	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"An exquisitely sinister study of Soviet oppression (...) An eerie, intimately disturbing film (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Jonathan Romney Screendaily	"A puzzling, inconclusive drama that doesn’t quite hold its own outside the parameters of the overall project (...) DAU: Natasha may leave viewers shaken, but also mystified and frustrated"	NEU
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"A unique intellectual exercise. One leaves the experience with a profound desire to learn more (...) Yet Khrzhanovskiy has captured his subject with such realism that we might be careful what we wish for"	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"An über-highbrow reality show of mindbogglingly elaborate conception yielding an experience of utterly authentic artifice, or vice versa."	NEU
