Anna Smith Deadline Hollywood Daily Feb 9, 2021
The Father isn't a fully emotionally satisfying watch. But it is touching one, with plenty of enjoyable offbeat humor along the way. Go to Full Review Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Sep 13, 2019
The Father, directed by Kristina Grozeva and Petar Valchanov, takes refuge in the absurd, and making us laugh through sheer exasperation. Go to Full Review Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter Jul 10, 2019
The story may test the limits of plausibility in places, but overall this off-the-map road movie is a humane, compassionate, character-driven delight. Go to Full Review José Amador Pérez Andújar Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Sep 14, 2020

Feb 6, 2021 Two parents lost on groundhog day. With walks through decadent settings including the local guru who focuses us on a dissident hippie painter who extrasensory surfs the missing aura of his elderly character getting lost in the forest. Pavel runs into decadent guards like the film itself ... But inside him there is something uncomfortable and fascinating that ensures us expect a proverbial ending with quince jam and geraniums: Let's make it together Bashtata.
