	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"A tough and moving educational drama (...) With strong performances from all three leads (...) The film ends on a powerful note of self-awareness"	POS
United States	Alissa Simon Variety	"Although a non-pro, the tightly wound young man brings intensity and an undercurrent of violence to the part"	POS
United States	Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"Rife with heavy-handed metaphors (...) 'Scaffolding' seems somewhat torn when it comes to telegraphing its own intentions."	NEG
United Kingdom	Nikki Baughan Screendaily	"Yair says a great deal about the relationship between ambition and opportunity as well as fathers and sons (...) At its core, 'Scaffolding' is a sharply drawn study of the father-son dynamic"	POS
	Vladan Petkovic Cineuropa	"A touching and dynamic portrait (...) DoP Bartosz Bieniek, for whom this is also the first feature, does an excellent job"	POS
