The film's 176-minute length will tax patience, but that almost seems the point in a story about how truth is arrived at and/or denied. Jan 13, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It is a bit of a slog, clocking in at almost three hours, but those of us with quarrelsome kin will find much to relate to. Jan 12, 2017 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

For better and worse, the film itself, which was inspired by the 40-day wake for Puiu's own father, feels similarly random and personal. May 20, 2016 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

While the film may be ponderous going for the vast majority of moviegoers, if only because characters talk and talk and talk, but seldom ever speak the truth... Sieranevada gives audiences plenty to sink their teeth into over the hours and days to come. May 13, 2016 | Full Review…

Sieranevada is a monumental portrait of a family and a society ripped apart by the mistrust that comes from a violent and perilous history, clinging to memories that create rifts instead of healing them. May 13, 2016 | Full Review…

You'll be immediately struck by Puiu's realism and capacity to replicate the exact lulls and tempo of conversation between the familial. Feb 8, 2019 | Full Review…

I exulted with a generous number of disconcerting and delightful episodes where Puiu, employing his directorial competence to better capture the family's moves with sharpness and wittiness, attempts to satirize life in today's unstable Romania. Mar 13, 2018 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

With little hierarchal order to the proceedings--but with distinct delineations between national, political, and theological dispositions--the film manages to hold everyone accountable. Nov 10, 2017 | Full Review…

A lucid and acid diagnosis of a society that has made hostility its daily life (according to what we can infer because of its cinema). [Full review in Spanish] Aug 25, 2017 | Full Review…

Finding a perfect balance between touching and humorous, this revealing family drama is a fantastic ballet of camera and mise-en-scène (with many beautiful long takes), and I love the way it lets us organize in our heads the relationships between all characters in the family.
