Reviews
„Quirky, melancholic comedy characterised by a linear narrative structure and a good dose of deadpan humour.“
Davide Abbatescianni, Cineuropa
„Affecting portrait of generational trauma and self-love“
Ben Nicholson, The Film Verdict
"After a much more stylized black and white work (Mirrors in the Dark), Holý now relies even more on improvisation and acting. This also makes the film about an elderly psychologist who seeks out a fortune teller because of a personal crisis convincing and natural."
Tomáš Stejskal, Aktuálně
"Pavla Tomicová clearly deserves the acting prize in Karlovy Vary"
Mirka Spáčilová, MF Dnes
