Gazeta Wyborcza | Produkcja dającego rozkosz Bruce'a księdzu nie przeszkadza. Dlaczego oburza się minister Gliński? [in Polish]Eye For Film | Film Review | 4.5/5 Stars
"Jurkiewicz drinks in all the life the village offers, almost imperceptibly soldering her own connections between the external environments and the internal, the women and the men, the traditional and the unexpected.This is Jurkiewicz's first film - with this sort of eye and ear for detail, I doubt it'll be her last."
Ubiquarian | Film Review“The Polish director Veronika Jurkiewicz who is also responsible for the script, pulls of the story with a great sense of humor without the intention to turn the film into a comedy, or the topic per se into a joke. The film compresses so much into its seven minutes, that it’s a pure joy to watch it. Gender roles, social issues and the mighty discrepancy between the small catholic community and its biggest source of income, it all comes together in a skillfully rounded short documentary.”
