Critic Reviews for Edi

First-time writer-director Piotr Trzaskalski takes this slight celebration of the ordinary and makes it life-affirming.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

When you mix social commentary about the Polish underclass with a Buddhist parable and gangster comedy, chances are that your message is going to get a little confused.
