„Affecting portrait of generational trauma and self-love“
Ben Nicholson, The Film Verdict
„Quirky, melancholic comedy characterised by a linear narrative structure and a good dose of deadpan humour.“
Davide Abbatescianni, Cineuropa
"After a much more stylized black-and-white (Mirrors in the Dark), Holý now bets even more on improvisation and acting. Thanks to this, the film about an elderly psychologist who seeks out a fortune teller due to a personal crisis is convincing and natural."
Tomáš Stejskal, Aktuálně
"Pavla Tomicová clearly deserves an acting award in Karlovy Vary"
Mirka Spáčilová, MF Dnes
