Stanley Kauffmann

RTThe New RepublicJun 19, 2013

The film shows us trenchantly that law often lags behind deep-grained custom.

Critic

RTLondon Evening StandardAug 10, 2012

A slow but totally authentic-looking film with an excellent cast, not all of whom are professionals.

Phil Hoad

RTGuardianAug 9, 2012

Joshua Marston hops on another subculture - Albanian blood feuds - and operates sensitively once again in the space between 21st-century ethnographer and enlightened genre director.

J

Jim Ross

RTTAKE ONE MagazineFeb 13, 2020

Although it loses some narrative momentum towards the end, the film as a whole places us right in the middle of a family drama anchored between youth and ancient tradition.
