Reviews:
“There is gorgeous cinematography from Beatriz Sastre during Animus, which picks out the isolation of these characters, and how their estrangement is a continuous atmosphere surrounding them” and “A masterclass in dramatic poise” and “an example of near-perfect filmmaking” say UK FILM REVIEW.

“A terse, tense and incredibly human exchange. And it’s good… It’s really, really good” say CULTURE WAR REPORTERS.
