Pause Ratings & Reviews
Bust Magazine
Deborah Krieger
Pause is not an easy or a pleasant film to watch, but it does have individual moments and sequences that are simply transfixing, as well as a strong, well-defined painterly aesthetic.
Film Inquiry
Aaron Berry
There may be an absence of comedy, dry, situational, or otherwise, but Mishiali certainly didn't intend to squash any personal hopes and daydreams with this film. Rather, she made a film that demands them to flourish.
Film Threat
Andrew Emerson
Pause is a thoughtful, quietly provocative film that spotlights an individual whom most films relegate to the sidelines.
WBAI Radio
Prairie Miller
A vivid, near soliloquoy, men distorting women and bypassing the soul. And relief for suppressed passions and frustrations do eventually break free for moments, but with only elusive windows of dramatic conjecture provided - as perhaps it should be.
Big Easy Magazine
Bill Arceneaux
A gender-specific and culturally unique crisis done up in a lively landscape fraught with a wide range of emotional, vengeful, and feared imaginations.

Tonia Mishiali's film is gorgeous in its solemnity...there is a quiet tension that carries you through the film.
San Antonio Current
Kiko Martinez
[First-time feature filmmaker Tonia] Mishiali's confident direction and [Stella] Fyrogeni's subtle and genuine performance are impressive.
Los Angeles Times
Katie Walsh
Fryogeni, who bears a striking resemblance to Frances McDormand, appears in almost every shot, and she carries the film with a bravura performance of a woman at her wit's end.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Moving from bleak social realism that's occasionally leavened by dry wit towards stark horror and then something else altogether, Pause excels at identifying the tiny sources of stress in day to day life that can build until they become overwhelming.
The Hollywood Reporter
Boyd van Hoeij
A work of considerable tonal complexity, as it stirs moments of pitch-black humor and short and violent reveries into an otherwise austerely told tale of spousal strife that wants to smash the patriarchy with feats of cinematic derring-do.
