Here is a film with its heart in the right place, an anatomical correctness coexisting with heartfelt, forthright conviction and an admirable belief in the virtue of simplicity and underplaying.

Negga is up for an Oscar and both received Golden Globe nominations. And rightly so – it’s wonderful, delicate work, which fills out not just each character but the space between them.

Nichols særlige evne til at strippe et manuskript for al overflødigt materiale og skære ind til benet klæder det ønskede fokus på kærlighedshistorien...

Ruth Negga er klart filmens helt store gevinst. Hendes skiftevis sårede og kærlige øjne er så eminent udtryksfulde, at jeg stadig kan se dem, når jeg lukker mine egne.

...ett lågmält men otroligt gripande drama om förbjuden kärlek.
