Movie Reviews

New York Daily News - 9/10 by Jack MathewsUltimately about the indomitability of faith, and the Christian symbolism is laid on thick. But the story, adapted from a famous behind-the-Iron-Curtain novel, sheds light on a subject few people have known about.
New York Times - 8/10 by Dana Stevens... difficult to watch, and just as difficult to forget.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by Matthew SmithMacedonian blockbuster is more successful as a technical accomplishment than as an engaging narrative.
Christian Science Monitor - 8/10 by David SterrittThis unusual Macedonian release is engrossing if not always nimbly directed.
Chicago Reader - 7/10 by J.R. JonesThis strange and beautiful Macedonian feature is a welcome reminder that national cinemas still exist.
Salon.com - 7/10 by Andrew O'HehirDespite his reliance on visual cliché, Trajkov mines a rich vein of morbid Slavic comedy, and his young characters have an appetite for adventure that's thoroughly unfake.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Lawrence Van GelderWhat makes the film worth watching are the extraordinary performances by the more than 250 children cast as orphans.
The A.V. Club - 7/10 by Noel MurrayHad the orphanage years been the first chapter in a longer story, The Great Water might've stretched toward a finish as unforgettable as its start.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by Sheri LindenAdapting the novel by Zhivko Chingo, director Trajkov and his co-scripter, Vladimir Blazevski, have created a searing memory piece. Suki Medencevic's widescreen cinematography illuminates a shadow realm halfway between heaven and hell.
Variety - 6/10 by Robert KoehlerExtraordinary perfs by a mostly young cast likely will be cancelled out by the grim subject.
