This film feels truly lived in, and guides us without ever feeling manipulative or calculating. The performances are naturalistic and utterly convincing.

'The film, in its own remarkably observational way, gradually transforms from an often brutal comedy into a domestic horror film.'

This terrific film is fueled by several scenes that are shocking -- but not for the reasons you might think. The shocks here come not from the unexpected sensationalism of them but from their bracing humanity and spontaneous, eye-opening rawness.

[Koshashvili] sometimes drags [the ideas] out (the film needs tightening), but they're worth considering all the same.
