Slaboshpytskiy evner en filmisk minimalisme, som lægger sig op ad mestre som Dardenne-brødrene, men med en særegen østblokkulde, som siver ud gennem de spartanske billedkompositioner og de tillukkede ansigter.

...en konsekvent og kompromisløs skildring af et parallelsamfund, hvor fagter, mimik og gestik er både de svært og let aflæselige sproglige koder.

Humorn är cynisk och nattsvart. Sexscenerna omväxlande råa och söta.
