A series of odd coincidences leaves Lukas, an interpreter for an OSCE military checkpoint inspection tour, stranded near a small southern Ukrainian town. With nowhere to turn, this city boy finds shelter at the home of a colorful local named Vova.

Phil Hoad

Guardian

An oblique cousin of the vitriolic satire of Sergei Loznitsa's 2018 film Donbass.

Rated: 4/5

Variety

An impressively shot drama marbled with welcome notes of absurdist comedy and wry humor...

Ben Sachs

Chicago Reader

Unfortunately Bondarchuk doesn't have as much to contemplate as he lets on; the movie often disintegrates into superficial art-film moodiness.

Always Good Movies

While the absurd humor generates crushing awkwardness, the convincing environments promulgate a sad authenticity.

Rated: 3.5/5

Culturamas

The metaphors it uses to develop its theme are Volcano's highlights, supported by Vadim Ilkov's wonderful photography. [Full review in Spanish]

Eye for Film

Bondarchuk subverts the idea of Kafka - rather than this proving to be hell, there's an increasing sense that a loss of structure could be less a tearing down of Lukas' life than an opportunity to build something different.

Rated: 4/5
