‘Gives off warmth like a radiator, generating huge amounts of empathy. I’m not sure I’ve seen another film that has so movingly put the audience in the shoes of a refugee: the emptiness of leaving everything behind, belonging to nowhere, having nothing’ - The Guardian

‘A feat of captivating storytelling, rich in character detail, vivid temporal awareness and high-stakes tension’ - Variety

‘Mulvad excels at holding stretched out sequences; the emotion and drama of it all is staggering, and so are the stakes.’ - Indie Wire
