Critic Reviews

This is Iron Curtain porn at its most shameless--a rousing industrial rock song plays in the background every time Schlndorff wants to invoke the Spirit of Labor--but Thalbach's Agnieszka is irresistible.Full Review

Village Voice

Schlndorff calls the film "a ballad inspired by true events," and its occasional bouts of clumsiness and sentimentality are inseparable from its power.Full Review

A.O. Scott
The New York Times

Despite the grim Cold War environment, Schlndorff blends, mostly successfully, goofiness and melodrama into the overall social realist tone.Full Review

Kevin Crust
Los Angeles Times

The dubbing from German to Polish is off-putting, but it is Schlondorff's best film since his classic "The Tin Drum."Full Review

Jack Mathews
New York Daily News

Thalbach's passionate performance is the film's center, but she's aided by a strong supporting cast, Jarre's propulsive score and the gritty locations: It was shot at the very shipyard where real-life history was made.Full Review
