Kontinental '25 Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
This features a fantastic performance from Eszter Tompa, who is so understated, humanistic, grounded, and real that you don't feel like you're watching someone who's acting.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Even if Jupe's episodic screenplay doesn't really go anywhere, it still has bite, the overall indictment being of a society that would like to do the right thing, but will gladly settle for complaining how doing the wrong thing isn't its fault.
The Spool
Lisa Laman
Jude's Kontinental '25 continues the filmmaker's commitment to unflinchingly chronicle the world as a modern Hell.
Chicago Reader
Joe Engleman
There is almost no forward momentum after this point, but the film becomes a searing, often hilarious look at Orsolya's guilt and the various people from whom she seeks absolution.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Jude is hardly precious about his craft. But that's because he's confident you'll leave bursting with thoughts and feelings about the price of progress, the weight of history and the ways we struggle to do right amid so much that's wrong.
Spectrum Culture
Erik Reeds
While Kontinental '25 doesn't reach the highs of Radu Jude's more deliberate masterworks, it avoids many pitfalls that a weaker director would fall into, and is surprisingly heartfelt in a way that Jude hasn't been since Barbarians.
Truthdig
Siddhant Adlakha
Through droll, static direction and political caricature, Jude constructs a typically acerbic social satire and his most character-focused work to date.
Movie Brief
Michael Nordine
Jude isn't *not* self-indulgent, but he's certainly never boring, either.
MovieJawn
Aaron Guttenplan
Worth seeing to get a taste of Radu Jude, but diehard fans of the director might be looking for something meatier.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Darkly humorous and deeply provocative, this searing social satire carries a timely thematic relevance beneath its no-frills narrative structure.
AV Club
Jacob Oller
This warped, slimy riff on Roberto Rossellini's Europa '51 refocuses that classic cinematic guilt trip on the amusing insufficiencies of modern self-righteousness.
The New Yorker
Justin Chang
A movie about the way we live now, the way we cope now, and, perhaps most of all, the way we rationalize now.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
While this film is often funny, its ultimate bit of wisdom, from the New Testament, is dark and undeniable: "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
A sharp, unforgiving satire about life, death and the politics of learned hopelessness, among other weighty subjects.
RogerEbert.com
Robert Daniels
It's the easy and smooth distillation of Jude's wild antics pitched as political satire that makes 'Kontinental '25' a sly statement by Jude that he can make "normal" movies too.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Atop its devastating human portraiture, Kontinental '25 functions as a snapshot of a city as fragmented and anguished as Rossellini's Rome: Jude's take on neo-realism, if you will, for an absurdist age.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
It's not an easy sit if you're looking for an edge-of-your-seat narrative. Jude has a lot to say here, but as usual the director finds an intriguing way to say it.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
Its moral dimensions are more straightforward than those in Jude's previous work (and its form much simpler in kind), but only because their practical applications are that much knottier in return.
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
Radu Jude's cinema isn't exactly absurdist, though it exposes the absurdities of a present reeling from the unresolved injustices of yore.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
At once incisive and ambiguous, it's proof that Jude is operating on a completely different level than most of his contemporaries.
