Reviews for this film from our members:
- Marco Albanese @ Stanze di Cinema [Italian]
- Excerpt: Il deserto morale si estende alle istituzioni civili, alla burocrazia, alla polizia: quel finale claustrofobico con la macchina da presa chiusa nella camionetta bloccata dalla neve, travolta da un’ondata di fango, rimane addosso a lungo. Da non perdere.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: …Cristian Mungiu has taken a real life event…to consider deeply human philosophies such as freedom vs. discipline, love vs. security, the choices facing those without financial recourse and the hypocrisies of organized religions.
- Marilyn Ferdinand @ Ferdy on Films
- Excerpt: The film is beautiful to look at, the performances sophisticated and sincere, and the pacing fine for me, though perhaps too slow and deliberate for many. But whether the film makes any kind of point largely depends upon the opinions of the audience.

- [New – 9/5] | Mathieu Li-Goyette @ Panorama-cinéma [French]
- Matthew Lucas @ From the Front Row
- Excerpt: Mungiu has established himself as the undisputed master of the Romanian New Wave, and with the release of Beyond the Hills it is clear that Romanian cinema isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
- Piers Marchant @ Sweet Smell of Success
- Matthew McKernan @ FilmWhinge
- Excerpt: Beyond The Hills is a well paced, beautifully shot film with great performances from the majority of the cast. It is an intelligent and moving film that is open to life’s complications and man’s imperfections.
- Jonathan Richards @ www.jonrichardsplace.com
- Excerpt: At two and a half somber hours, the movie sometimes requires the patience of holy vows to see it through.
