“There’s so much to be impressed by in Kolodny’s debut — from the cinematography to Sonia Foltarz’s production design and Naomi Wolff Lachter’s costuming."
– Lovia Gyarke, The Hollywood Reporter
“…the Kolodnys consistently maintain an immersive, on-the-fly aesthetic, attentive to what was then a bracing modernity of filmmaking technique, even within the film’s painstaking period look. Sonia Foltarz’s production design and Naomi Wolff Lachter’s costuming are fully complicit in the illusion;”
– Guy Lodge, Variety
“Hugely vivid and superbly acted – notably by James Madio as Pep and singer-actor Ruby Wolf as his beleaguered wife – it is an extraordinary achievement for all concerned… Stylistically the film is bang on, both in its period recreation and in evoking the textures of mid-60s cinema…"
– Jonathan Romney, Screen International
“[A] cunning biography… [A] seamless period piece with uncanny era-specific cinematography… Both Sonia Foltarz’s production design and Naomi Wolff Lachter’s costumes are equally convincing and rich with texture….”
– Stephen Saito, Moveable Fest
