- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: It is an incredible feat for all involved, the camerawork immersing us so completely within the action we forget about the technical skill and stamina required to achieve it.
- Derek Deskins @ LonelyReviewer
- Excerpt: If anything, Victoria exists as a warning to filmmakers. If you do not take the time and effort to ensure that the story is well built or that your characters are fully developed with at least notes of authenticity, not even the most difficult of technical achievements can make your film a great one.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: There’s nothing particularly special about Victoria, but the form makes it so.
- James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture
- Travis Hopson @ Punch Drunk Critics
- Excerpt: While the “gimmick” of the single-take sequence has grown tiresome and a crutch too many filmmakers lean on as proof of their supposed skill, Schipper uses it to brazen, ballsy effect.
- [New – 10/11/15] | Daniel Lackey @ The Nightmare Gallery
- Excerpt: As an experiment it intrigues, but to my mind, it ultimately falls flat.
- Alan Mattli @ Facing the Bitter Truth [German]
- Excerpt: Without a single cut, director Sebastian Schipper and DP Sturla Brandth Grøvlen have created a stunning odyssey through the night of Berlin. ‘Victoria’ is a striking drama in the vein of Matthieu Kassovitz’s ‘La haine’.
- Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
- Courtney Small @ Cinema Axis
- Rob Wallis @ The Metropolist
- Excerpt: … inarguably impressive, if only that.
- Sarah Ward @ artsHub
- Chase Whale @ Hammer to Nail
- Excerpt: It’s wild, it’s bold, and the final act is an exhilarating force that will leave you slack-jawed. Star Laia Costa is a virtuoso of talent and her nuanced emotional range is going to make her a star.
