“A supremely confident piece of filmmaking that negotiates the tricky terrain of non-typical sexualities with sensitivity, humour and a refreshing lightness of touch”
— Screen International
“A lush and sensual drama that evokes the rush of affection and excitement and delves into what embodied love means. Visually grainy, as if you can reach out and feel the film stock, with well-rounded characters, it’s stirring and moving at every turn”
— Vox
“The immediate, intimate chemistry between Grinevičiūtė and Cicėnas, and Kavtaradze's careful use of close-ups, reminds us what it looks like when two perfectly matched stars ignite cinematic magic.”
