The Onion (A.V. Club) | Noel MurrayAdd Critic to Favorites
Porumboiu starts off making a mordant slice of life, but he gradually entwines the personal and the historical, then ends on a poignant note. The story and situation are slight, but in the best possible way.Read the full review
Boston Globe | Ty BurrAdd Critic to Favorites
For all its pessimism, the movie prompts a viewer to search his or her own memories for actions rather than reactions, and to mull over the differences between the two. It's a dark little ride, but at the end the lights hesitantly flicker back on.Read the full review
