Jonathan Romney Screen International 2d
There's a lot at stake thematically -- both in terms of heritage and identity, and of more specific art-market questions. But the film's ruminative tone and self-consciously moody stylistics make for an overall solemnity that is hard to engage with. Go to Full Review
Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter 2d
It’s an intriguing set-up that takes a little time to find its way, but once it does Nina Roza turns into a moving meditation on estrangement, revealing what you give up by leaving home behind -- and what you gain by daring to finally return. Go to Full Review

B+
Like the eponymous gifted girl’s paintings, “Nina Roza” is subtly cosmic, compelling, and impressionistic. It powerfully commits to symbolic, time-shifting flourishes scattered throughout its swerving narrative. It is a work of legitimate form. Go to Full Review

It flourishes in its tender moments of reflection and memory, using a hauntingly beautiful score and nuanced performances to bridge the gap between a painful past and a hopeful present. Go to Full Review
