criticism

The film service judges that the "chamber play-like drama is told primarily from the woman's point of view with lifelike dialogues and a keen sense for nuances and maintains her dignity even in the most revealing moments". The only criticism is “the preference for symbolic storytelling”, which “sometimes diminishes the sensitive, morally non-judgmental staging”.

Awards
