	Media	Author	Review
		M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut	"Operation Hyacinth is a gritty mystery with a smart script (...) Piotr Domalewsk creates a dark and ominous atmospheric view of the intolerant 1980s communist Poland (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Odie Henderson rogerebert.com	"Had this been made back in the 1940s, it would have fit nicely in the same genre as “Detour” or “The Maltese Falcon.” It has a streak of hopeless nihilism that’s characteristic of the finest noir (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		John Serba Decider	"[It] blends two familiar movie formulas into a highly watchable and engaging drama that’s strong when it needs to be."
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"The production quality is impressive. The same must be said for both the story and acting. In fact, with the current state of LGBTQ rights in Poland, this is a very brave movie (...) Puntuación: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
