The best film I've ever seen about the horror of falling in love.

| Feb 12, 2024

Conventional romantic payoffs go out the window in this low-key psychological thriller from Hungary, which features some intriguing character dynamics.

Watching the yearning-drenched romantic hangover of a film is nothing short of a goosebump-inducing experience.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 20, 2021

Natasa Stork and director Lili Horvát are a new essential duo in the realm of tacit emotion. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 18, 2021

It kept me very unmoored. I felt I was on a rickety jetty the entire time... a film that has stuck with me, and stuck the landing.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 24, 2021

A love story that, presented in a noir tone, full of implausible mysteries, swirls, like a gravitational force, around [Natasa] Stork's magnetic and confused gaze. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 21, 2021

The film, once an extraordinary idea, becomes out of shape at the moment that Horvát tries to give it one.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 8, 2021

If it's possible for a film to be both forward-thinking and a throwback at the same time, this elliptical Hungarian entry checks both boxes with ease.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 25, 2021

It's almost a disappointment when Horvat finally reveals the film's secrets ... until one realizes that the film's unwieldy title is actually referring to its cryptic ending.

| Jun 5, 2021

Deftly manipulating this air of mystery to conjure a suspenseful fever-dream, the filmmaker engages a breathtaking dance on that line between reality and illusion (and maybe some delusion).

"Your understanding of people's interactions and what they are thinking shifts over time [and] the approach to [the filming] makes it a very engaging film to watch."

| May 24, 2021

The irony-drenched ending is perfect: playful, as well as disturbing.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 2, 2021

I won't tell you the twist, but the film casts a spell, and holds it to the end.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 24, 2021

Director Lili Horvát keeps any number of uncertainties afloat in a dazzling second feature that merges the fragrantly saturated melodrama of Douglas Sirk with Hitchcock-cool noir

| Mar 23, 2021

A treat - sinewy, seductive and beautifully strange.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 21, 2021

Horvát explores how romantic fantasy can be a projection based on slender evidence, but it isn't no evidence at all.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 19, 2021

Echoing its clashing tones of red and blue, this is an unexpectedly warm film with a chilling premise.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 18, 2021

Here is a puzzle or a riddle of a psychological movie, with distant echoes of Roeg's Bad Timing or Antonioni's Blow-Up.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 17, 2021

What follows is both more intriguing and more mundane as it settles into a character study of someone who knows how the brain works but not the heart.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 17, 2021

A fascinating, moodily shot mystery from Hungarian writer-director Lili Horvát that maintains an air of intrigue and unpredictability as it evokes the films of Alfred Hitchcock, Christian Petzold and Krzysztof Kieslowski.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 15, 2021
