	Media	Author	Review
		Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"Romania's answer to 12 Years a Slave is surprisingly, savagely funny (...) Behind its attractive surface (...) this Trojan Horse drama makes some spiky topical points"
		A. O. Scott The New York Times	"[A] sublime new feature, a funny and brutal costume drama with a potent contemporary kick. (...) a brilliant movie"
		Jay Weissberg Variety	"An exceptional, deeply intelligent gaze at a key historical period, with significant ramifications for today"
