“extraordinarily potent German first world war drama.” 5/5 – The Guardian
“a visceral and harrowing Great War epic.” 4/5 – The Times
“a symphony of mud, teen angst and terrible beauty.” 4/5 – The Telegraph
“There’s something refreshingly untethered about the gusto with which she reimagines Emily, tossing aside the image of a shy, sickly recluse, replacing it with an antiheroine whose inability to fit in with the ordered world is a source of strength rather than weakness” 4/5 – The Guardian
“With little or no details of her short-lived life, O’Connor’s confident direction and deep respect for the narrative transcends clichés to become a genuinely moving examination of what it really means to choose one’s way.” 4/5 – RTÉ
“a drifting, dreamlike Irish fable of escape – with a touch of Kafka.” 3/5 – The Guardian
