I, Olga Hepnarova Reviews
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
While Kazda and Weinreb convey a sound psychological portrait of a distressed mind, this downtrodden character study, despite a fine lead performance, often feels slave to its own misery.
RogerEbert.com
Godfrey Cheshire
We're left feeling that Olga herself might find the film expertly mounted but still missing a more visceral, pissed-off tone.
Slant Magazine
Christopher Gray
The filmmakers take few measures to engender sympathy for Olga, but their prismatic take on her life, while novel, precludes making any resonant statements about homosexuality, emotional health, or humankind's capacity for evil.
Cinema Crazed
Emilie Black
This is not a film that is a feel good one; on the contrary, it's depressing, sad, and beautiful.
The Blue Lenses
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
In a role that would be destroyed by even a whiff of melodrama, I, Olga Hepnarová offers one of the year's strongest performances by a woman on-screen. A film as timely as it is tragic and terrifying.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
Compositions often emphasize a dehumanizing effect: when Olga is executed, we first see a crowd of observers who step aside one by one until they reveal her dead body hanging there, in the most matter-of-fact way.
NPR
Andrew Lapin
[Olszanska's] glassy-eyed, understated rendition of a woman who's lost all touch with reality jars us from our senses, despite - or perhaps because of - the filmmakers' clear fascination with their protagonist's sex appeal.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
Anchored by a startling performance by Michalina Olszanska, the Czech film "I, Olga Hepnarova" is an austere, hypnotic story of sadness, madness and murder.
Village Voice
Tanner Tafelski
I, Olga Hepnarov is a stoic and sobering character study of a lonely young lesbian murderess shunned by those around her.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Writer-directors Tomas Weinreb and Petr Kazda construct a still-topical case study of extreme trauma yielded by adolescent bullying and parental neglect, fronted with committed intensity by rising Polish star Michalina Olszanska.
Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Dalton
A modestly gripping debut which never quite musters the dramatic gravitas that such an emotionally charged true story should.
Bay Area Reporter
Erin Blackwell
We are held at arm's length, in a literal-minded rendering of alienation that remains tentative and cautious where its anti-heroine was over-the-top monstrous.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
While the narrative framework may not quite go the distance, the shot choices are never less than exquisite.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Michalina Olszanska's convincingly moving performance is undermined by a dull, underwhelming and shallow screenplay.
Shockya.com
Harvey S. Karten
A serious exploration of the mind of a young woman who seeks revenge for being bullied or ignored by parents, peers, and the whole Czech society.
