Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Cristian Mungiu's masterful chronicle is impressive above all for the way it respects the audience, expecting them to follow the implications of its multifaceted tale without always spelling them out.
A brilliant and discomfiting film.
Observes with ruthless, artful precision. While plunging a knife through your soul.
The film emerges as a devastating personal drama, a suspenseful horror story and a powerful statement about life under a repressive regime.
