TIFF REVIEW: Sentimental Value

“It’s meticulous and intentional, draped in metaphor and rich in context, beautifully acted and exquisitely presented. It’s a film that displays Trier’s growth as a filmmaker and control over his vision.”

TIFF REVIEW: Erupcja

“The contrast between the mumblecore-style acting, the Eastern European fable narration and Ohs’ intentionally dreamy editing results in a full-bodied, atmospheric film that captures your imagination like all good films should.”
