Fugitive Pieces delivers its own evocative poetry.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
Fresh
The great Serbian actor Rade Serbedzija gives Fugitive Pieces its heart.

Fresh
Fugitive Pieces is an often lovely work, haunting its viewer long afterward with its quiet observations on what remains with us.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Fresh
Tasteful, unremarkable art-house fare, rescued from complete irrelevance by Stephen Dillane's bottled-up performance as a writer scarred by the Holocaust.
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
