Asia Ratings & Reviews
Vague Visages
Elle Haywood
Asia is an outstanding showcase for Haas...
Los Angeles Times
Katie Walsh
Pribar's humane and heartbreaking drama is beautifully photographed and performed; a loving, warm, and even sexy film about death and dying that is teeming with life.
St. Louis Jewish Light
Dan Buffa
I can't speak enough of the work of Haas here. She illuminates a mysterious struggle (we are never told exactly what her medical condition is) with grace and tenderness
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Powerful, engrossing and profoundly human. Shira Haas and Alena Yiv give raw, natural performances.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
Both Shira Haas and Alena Yiv deliver commanding performances in Asia.
New York Times
Devika Girish
Asia and Vika struggle to emerge as full-fleshed characters from the movie's dull, blue-grey frames, while the script rushes through provocative plot turns in its bleak procession toward a wrenching conclusion.
Slant Magazine
Wes Greene
Asia is Ruthy Pribar's feature-length directorial debut, but it evinces an old hand's confidence.
Maven's Nest
Nora Lee Mandel
Debut writer/director maturely sets up a very original mother and teen daughter relationship, as Russian immigrants in Israel dependent on each other, and friends.
Variety
Guy Lodge
From Daniella Nowitz's muted, intimately lit lensing to the plaintive, judiciously used piano strains of Karni Postel's score, every formal element of "Asia" serves to illustrate and enrich the tricky, evolving relationship at its center...
Critic's Notebook
Martin Tsai
As to how the film goes wrong, where to begin? The indecent proposal or the workplace sexual harassment?
Orlando Weekly
Cameron Meier
The emotional impact of that re-examination takes a while to build, and ... the storytelling isn't always as crisp as it could be. But the payoff is profound.
The Jewish Chronicle
Linda Marric
Sparse and gorgeously acted.
TheArtsStl
Sarah Boslaugh
...Haas' performance ..exudes a kind of steely determination that could be mistaken for oppositional behavior, but is really based on having a strong sense of self and being true to it.
AwardsCircuit.com
Joey Magidson
As far as intimate dramas go, "Asia" is really top-notch. Never content to go for an easy emotional beat, every single moment feels real.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
First-time feature director Ruthy Pribar takes a loose and intimate approach to the relationship, allowing it to unfold in moments.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
If a sense of independence can give her characters a satisfying catharsis, Pribar extends that feeling to an audience watching "Asia" with the sensation they're watching a singular new voice.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
Touching drama about the unusual directions love takes in a mother-daughter relationship.
IndieWire
Eric Kohn
Pribar's subtle movie eschews sentimentalism for a patient and inquisitive character study, mining familiar territory and rejuvenating it with emotional impact that worms its way into the material from unexpected places.
Shockya.com
Harvey S. Karten
A grieving mother faces the loss of her daughter in a story done without Hollywood-style glitz.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
The maturity of the directorial voice is evident in its clear-eyed, rigorously unsentimental assessment of a shattering situation.
