Critics Consensus: With a brilliantly stark visual aesthetic to match its lean narrative, Cold War doesn't waste a moment of its brief running time -- and doesn't skimp on its bittersweet emotional impact.

Luminously shot in black and white, with every frame artfully composed, Pawel Pawlikowski's powerful "Cold War"....casts a spell over audiences.
A passionate love story (yes, there's a recurrent theme here) that plays out, with musical accompaniment and political resonance, across three decades in postwar Europe.
Form and content seem oddly divorced, but music -- the Polish folk tunes, communist-propaganda anthems and Parisian torch songs -- sets the mood and saves the day.
One of the most colourful things you'll ever see in black and white.
This is an achingly personal story - the romantic leads are named after Pawlikowski's own parents, to whom the film is dedicated - and also a sadly resigned one.
The more we see this relationship, the more its mystery grows. That is the profound, beguiling truth with which Cold War ultimately leaves us.
If you want an uplifting entertainment, go and see Mary Poppins this Christmas. But if you want cinema that challenges and digs into your soul, catch a Cold War.
As bleak as it is beautiful, Pawel Pawlikowski's melancholy film is an ode to love.
Pawel Pawlikowski delivers a beautifully-searing masterpiece.
Pawel Pawlikowski is in love with his characters, his story, and the world he's built in Cold War, and it shows in every frame.
Passionate and episodic love story between mismatched lovers who are meant for each other but that may not be enough.
What most engrossed me in Cold War was the framing. The square frame envelops you and focuses your eye more so than even widescreen or IMAX movies often do.
