Tsangari's art-house minimalism, which never lets us forget we're watching a movie, still permits a surprising degree of tender emotion.
Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle
Attenberg
Sexy, strange and beautifully deranged.

Overview
Marina, 23, is growing up with her architect father in a prototype factory town by the sea. Finding the human species strange and repellent, she keeps her distance...that is until a stranger comes to town and challenges her to a foosball duel, on her own table. Her father, meanwhile, ritualistically prepares for his exit from the 20th century, which he considers to be "overrated."

Using occasional song-and-dance numbers with a melancholy Godardian kick, [Tsangari] creates a world that's off-center and alive with loneliness.

Part of the film's success comes from Labed's performance as Marina, who infuses all that weirdness with a barely there vulnerability.
Stephanie Merry, Washington Post

"Attenberg" is a three-layered love story, anatomizing the mysterious emotions of grief, friendship and erotic attraction.
A.O. Scott, New York Times

The drama, at its core, is simple and conventional, but it has the aura of science fiction.
