Ava - Kritiken

Yes, there is bloody action and plenty of it...

...[a] striking, semi-autobiographical portrait of a girl growing up in Tehran.

...takes what might otherwise be a banal family-drama trope (...) and turns it into something resembling a political thriller.

With the ticking of Ava’s metronome, we sense for her that simmer will eventually rise to a boil.

Stilistisk brillerer filmen med flere fintmærkende stemningsmontager med brug af flotte pangfarver fra hele paletten.
