Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
An audacious and successful gamble from a first-time feature filmmaker who is now officially on his way.
– Michael Phillips,
Chicago Tribune,
9 Jul 2015
fresh:
A startlingly original, at times unbearably intense drama from Ukraine that - on a moment-to-moment, scene-by-scene basis - blows up expectations on every level: narratively, visually and in terms of performance.
– Tom Keogh,
Seattle Times,
9 Jul 2015
fresh:
The Tribe is a brilliant formal achievement that marks Ukrainian writer-director Miroslav Slaboshpitsky as a filmmaker to watch.
– Ben Sachs,

fresh:
It's got a story every bit as bold and fearless as its approach - the kind of primal story that's beyond the ken of language.
– Barbara VanDenburgh,

fresh:
Slaboshpitsky frames his problematic protagonists with painterly meticulousness, their feral posturing and nakedness conveyed with improbable beauty.
