Drama "My verdict is: I, Olga Hepnarová, the victim of your bestiality, sentence you to death penalty." Those were famous words of 22-year-old mass murder Olga Hepnarová, who in 1973 drove a truck into a group of innocent people in Prague.

	Media	Author	Review
		Guy Lodge Variety	"The film can strain a little for its severity, but intelligently dodges sensationalism throughout."
		Tanner Tafelski Village Voice	"'I, Olga Hepnarová' is a stoic and sobering character study of a lonely young lesbian murderess shunned by those around her."
		Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"A modestly gripping debut which never quite musters the dramatic gravitas that such an emotionally charged true story should."
		Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"Anchored by a startling performance by Michalina Olszanska, the Czech film 'I, Olga Hepnarova' is an austere, hypnotic story of sadness, madness and murder."
		Christopher Gray Slant	"Too much of Petr Kazda and Tomás Weinreb’s film passes by in a tone of brutalist understatement /(…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Tara Brady Irish Times	"Michalina Olszanska delivers a stunning central performance (...) Weinreb and Kazda offer no easy conclusions, only cruel, confusing realities"
