	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"This excellent film would be a striking accomplishment from anyone – and this was actually Vitkova’s debut. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Dennis Harvey Variety	"A strikingly assured and ambitious feature debut for writer-director Maya Vitkova, at least to a point, 'Viktoria' has a touch of 'Garp' and 'The Tin Drum'"
		IndieWire	"Acerbic and absurdist in equal measure, the film forges a powerful metaphorical link between the physical body and the body politic."
