- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Why oh why was Norwegian actress Renate Reinsve never a part of the 2025 awards season conversation? Justly lauded for her turn in 2021’s “The Worst Person in the World,” Reinsve delivers an even more complex performance here.
- Richard Gray @ The Reel Bits
- Excerpt: A gripping psychological drama that teeters between tension and surrealism, anchored by powerful performances.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Armand is distilling mankind’s penchant for baseless attacks and fear-mongering down into the interaction of three distinct entities in a familiarly simple scenario.

- Excerpt: Tøndel’s Norwegian film contains A+ acting, but despite being a Norwegian and a teacher myself, the script’s inner examination of the accused son’s mother just goes too far. Soon into it, I was frustrated and confused, not only with the story but the purpose of the film.
- [New] | Christopher Reed @ Film Festival Today
- Excerpt: We should always applaud cinematic ambition, for no one wants stories that look and sound like every story. But experimentation works best when grounded in narrative, however loose, or at the very least thematic unity.
- James Wegg @ JWR
- Excerpt: Suffer the little children
- Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: An experience that invites the viewer to reflect—on the nature of truth, on the way we perceive people (both children and adults), and on how education at school complements that at home.
