Movie Reviews

Reviews:
3 stars out of 4 -- "VICTORIA is a breathtaking technical accomplishment....It is literally one take, and it takes place all over Berlin, at night, even developing into an intense action movie." - 10/09/2015 RogerEbert.com


"VICTORIA is a sensational cinematic stunt. From its blinding strobe-lit opening, driven by pounding electronica, this German heist thriller directed by Sebastian Schipper conveys the queasy excitement of being dropped onto a roller coaster midride." - 10/09/2015 New York Times


"In the German film VICTORIA, a vast swathe of human experience has been squeezed into 134 minutes of narrative -- dance-floor euphoria, flirtation, danger, a rooftop reverie, an impromptu piano recital, desperation, romance, the lot." - 10/08/2015 Film Comment


5 stars out of 5 -- "Once Berlin starts to reveal its darker nooks and crannies, it transforms into a cracking thriller that confounds at every turn." - 04/04/2016 Empire


5 stars out of 5 -- "[M]ore than a technical prodigy, VICTORIA is an authentic piece of cinematic magic. Taking us deep into one woman’s experience, it’s as adrenaline-charged as any mainstream action cinema, but with a minimum of production frills." - 04/03/2016 The Guardian
