A Romanian political allegory - in Romanian - might sound like tough sledding, but thanks to a searing performance by Luminita Gheorghiu, "Child's Pose" is anything but.
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

Perversely engrossing thanks to Gheorghiu's performance as the queen of denial.
John Anderson, Newsday

Netzer crafts not only a chilling story of family dysfunction, but also an illuminating look into the corruption and decay of the Romanian bourgeoisie - without ever overplaying his hand. It all appears so effortless, when in fact it's so skillful.
David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle

A fascinating, troubling and finally controversial portrait of maternal anxiety at its most smotheringly neurotic.
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
