Rakkautta vailla

...bottenfrusen och makalöst vacker.

...a stark, mysterious and terrifying story of spiritual catastrophe...

...it’s superbly performed, beautifully photographed, and every frame has clearly been considered thoroughly.

Andrey Zvyagintsev's pristine drama is a pitiless critique on Russia

...a film that, with chilly precision, dissects the frozen corpse of a hollow society – personal, national and global.

...this portrait of Russian lower-middle-class despair and desperation is clouded over with a super-slow-burn miasma of dread and disconnection that, while overlong, resonates with the sheer randomness of modern life.
