Screen Daily : "an extraordinary and strangely immersive film that pounds its viewers hard, but in the end delivers something extraordinary and original."

The New Yorker : "These signs are so powerful and so unmistakably painful are the feelings that flare up behind them that we are by no means excluded, but drawn too violently into the heart of the story."

The Telegraph : “You leave this brutally unsentimental lesson with a throbbing chest and a ringing in your ear […] Some films are made to leave us speechless; for some experiences there are no words. "
