Fryogeni, who bears a striking resemblance to Frances McDormand, appears in almost every shot, and she carries the film with a bravura performance of a woman at her wit's end. Jun 13, 2019 | Full Review…

A work of considerable tonal complexity, as it stirs moments of pitch-black humor and short and violent reveries into an otherwise austerely told tale of spousal strife that wants to smash the patriarchy with feats of cinematic derring-do. Jul 11, 2018 | Full Review…

Pause is not an easy or a pleasant film to watch, but it does have individual moments and sequences that are simply transfixing, as well as a strong, well-defined painterly aesthetic. Sep 27, 2019 | Full Review…

There may be an absence of comedy, dry, situational, or otherwise, but Mishiali certainly didn't intend to squash any personal hopes and daydreams with this film. Rather, she made a film that demands them to flourish. Sep 21, 2019 | Full Review…

Pause is dark, dry, and completely ruthless when it comes to admonishing the patriarchal structures that keep women down, particularly in the film's Cyprus setting. Aug 21, 2019 | Full Review…

The film is observant, and Mishiali uses deftly its main character towards her self-regulated journey to freedom. Aug 4, 2019 | Full Review…

Pause is a thoughtful, quietly provocative film that spotlights an individual whom most films relegate to the sidelines. Jul 8, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

A vivid, near soliloquoy, men distorting women and bypassing the soul. And relief for suppressed passions and frustrations do eventually break free for moments, but with only elusive windows of dramatic conjecture provided - as perhaps it should be. Jun 18, 2019 | Full Review…

A gender-specific and culturally unique crisis done up in a lively landscape fraught with a wide range of emotional, vengeful, and feared imaginations. Jun 15, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Moving from bleak social realism that's occasionally leavened by dry wit towards stark horror and then something else altogether, Pause excels at identifying the tiny sources of stress in day to day life that can build until they become overwhelming. Oct 30, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
