影評：
• 「艾歐索伯博立茲是喬治亞電影界最被看好的後起之秀」（The Film Verdict，史蒂芬道頓）
• 「整體演出精彩，本片令人想到阿斯哈法哈蒂和達頓兄弟等人的早期作品……」（International Cinephile Society，尼科拉塔揚）
• 喬治亞導演艾歐索伯博立茲在他的第一部劇情片裡，讓觀眾近距離觀察疏離的母親和情感障礙的兒子。
• 初執導演筒的艾歐索伯博立茲以不說教的方式，分析了這種情況對每個個體的影響。他對人物動機的仔細描繪再加上主觀拍攝方法，創作出一個不迴避悲喜劇基調的複雜故事。一個人的不幸也許是另一個人的幸運。

Reviews:
• “Bliadze is a rising star of Georgian cinema and possibly beyond” The Film Verdict - Stephen Dalton
• “Positively helped by a competent ensemble, it is also reminiscent of earlier works by the likes of Ashgar Farhadi and the Dardennes…” International Cinephile Society - Nicol Latayan
• In his first feature, Georgian director Ioseb “Soso” Bliadze immerses the audience in the world of inaccessible mothers and emotionally stunted sons.
• Debut director Ioseb "Soso" Bliadze analyzes the situation’s impact on each affected individual without pointing fingers or moralizing. His careful contextualization of the characters’ motives combines with a subjective approach to produce a complex story that does not shy away from a tragicomic tone. One person’s misery may be another’s good fortune.
