Reviews

‘In many ways this is a study in anger, and it is an austere and angular picture. Krieps gives an exhilaratingly fierce, uningratiating performance.’
★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

‘Kreutzer has her own style of revisionist feminist history, and aided by Krieps’s bold and brilliant turn, it’s riveting stuff.’
★★★★
Anna Smith, Time Out
