A coming-of-age drama entwined with a political statement, In Bloom underscores its well-worn themes with strong performances and palpable real-world tension.

Directors Nana Ekvtimshvili and Simon Gross adopt the long, contemplative takes of the new wave; much of the film feels familiar, but the location shooting and period details are nicely drawn, a result of Ekvtimshvili's autobiographical script. Dec 19, 2014 | Full Review…

This is a story of adolescence and female friendship under pressure, explored with a quietly engrossing combination of familiarity and strangeness. Sep 26, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The viewer becomes keenly aware that she is only getting part of the story. But when the truth is so troubling, sometimes part of the story is more than enough. Jun 26, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

As arthouse coming-of-age films go, this is brilliant -- smart and sensitive with a screw-you feminist streak. Apr 29, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The leads are played with freshness and mischief by Lika Babluani as Eka and Mariam Bokeria as Natia. Jun 2, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

This film out of Georgia (the country, not the state) depicts a society not far removed from anarchy, or the Middle Ages, for that matter. There's not much light or laughter in this grim tale of limited choices. Jun 2, 2015 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

The performances are naturalistic and severe, especially the highly volatile families, where shouting matches are almost traumatising to hear and to watch. But ... the film ends without having said enough to satisfy us Nov 12, 2014 | Full Review…

There are moments that are powerful to Ekvtimishvili that are more likely merely glancing to the audience, but the unadorned performances and air of unease combine for a film rich in social realism. Nov 12, 2014 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Portraying lives a universe away from the malls and frippery of their Western counterparts, Eka (Lika Babluani) and Natia (Mariam Bokeria) cope with food shortages, bullying, bad families, a ramshackle education system [and] forced marriages. Sep 27, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
