Ayka Reviews
Film Monthly
Matt Cipolla
Ayka may be depressed and chronically enfeebled, but she surely isn't bored. The audience, however? That's another conclusion to come to.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
They say it's the hope that kills you and Dvortsevoy lets enough light in to emphasise her plight.
Hollywood Reporter
Leslie Felperin
Dvortsevoy deserves praise for making a film willing to show a woman ready to do anything she can to live, unafraid if those choices make her character unsympathetic.
MUBI
Daniel Kasman
As resolute and grim as its heroine, Dvortsevoy's wrenching drama is a bastion of empathy and concern.
Next Best Picture
Tom O'Brien
Yeslyamova's Ayka is the focus of almost every scene, allowing the actress to move from showing bitter tears to becoming doggedly determined, sometimes even within the course of one scene.
