If you wanted a film to remind you nobody had it better than we do - and I could well understand why you might right now - than United States of Love provides a bracing vodka-expresso jolt.November 17, 2016
Austere and melancholic, but also marked by dry minimalist humour.November 17, 2016
Wasilewski is a name to watch out for given the extraordinary maturity of his United States of Love.November 17, 2016
The film owes a lot to the four central performances, with Kijowska proving especially heartbreaking in her solitude.December 14, 2016
Wasilewski shoots the film in a similar method to directors like Kieslowski, Michael Haneke or Asghar Farhadi -- observing his central player's lives from an unobstrusive cold distance to allow the viewer to form their own interpretation on events.November 18, 2016
Despite aesthetic merit, it's a depressing and emotionally barren film that fails to hold interest.December 12, 2016
It's beautifully shot by Oleg Mutu but a little too self-consciously directed on occasion with too many of the gorgeous, nearly still life shots and too many back of head shots but its aim is mostly true and the emotions linger.November 17, 2016
Designed on one level to conjure the effects of a repressive society on women with few choices available, "Love" feels frigid even though Wasilewski likely wants to extend sympathy to their situations.November 17, 2016
There's no denying that Wasilewski is one of cinema's most promising new voices.January 01, 2017
It's a magnificent achievement, but it's seldom pleasant to behold.November 20, 2016
The talented young writer-director Tomasz Wasilewski has an eye for eloquent framing and touches of absurdity, both of which evoke the work of Austrian film-maker Ulrich Seidl.November 17, 2016
Even if the message is a little muddy, United States of Love is plainly the confident work of a fast-maturing young filmmaker with a strong voice and a sharp visual sense.
