-
Claustrophobically intimate.
-
Brides is a technically competent drama with an edge of political protest, well-acted and handsomely filmed.
-
The one constant is the strength of Kitia’s performance. Nutsa is aloof but never distant, guarded but never completely opaque... one of the best performances of the year so far.
