“The dirty-cop trope gets an imaginative new workout in this sly and intricate crime drama by the director Corneliu Porumboiu.” – Richard Brody, New Yorker
“Poromboiu has always been the funniest of the Romanian new wave directors, albeit with a bitter twist and deliberately rough delivery. Here, clearly reveling in the constraints of genre convention, he delivers pure entertainment.” – Stephanie Bunbury, The Age (Australia)
“An elegant and stylishly crafted piece of entertainment.” – Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
Language: Romanian, English, Spanish (English subtitles)
