    "Coming across as something like "The Double Life of Veronique" filtered through the dark imagination of David Lynch, it establishes debut feature director Nicolangelo Gelormini as a fresh new voice in Italian cinema... This isn’t a traditional fairy tale, but arthouse in service of profoundly dark emotions. Simply put, this is one of the most haunting films of the year."

    "A kind of cubist, surreal dark and dreamlike horror story, seen from a child’s point of view... A surreal, complex, risky film that will divide audiences, but whose emotional impact is undeniable, and which requires some time to settle down and be understood."
    Vittoria Scarpa, Cineuropa
