  "Insightful.... Putting regular citizens who suddenly find themselves in extraordinary circumstances under a microscope, she shows how women bear the brunt of the brutality of war, even if nominally only the men are fighting. "

  "The ensemble cast is brilliant, particularly the three girls, who are non-professionals. But the narratives are grim and unforgiving. Bad Roads is a Hieronymus Bosch painting come to life: utter depravity of mind and body."

  "Powerfully acted...the film serves as a launch pad to help a new Ukrainian talent gain wider notice."

  "Natalya Vorozhbit’s adaptation of her 2017 play is a howl of anguish over the recent history of the Ukraine and the impact of hostilities with neighbouring Russia. Her powerful directorial debut uses four stories to illustrate the appalling treatment of women and how a climate of fear destroys any thought of compassion. "

  "A stark reminder of how quickly our humanity can disappear during war."

  "It’s a visceral, powerful experience but beware: the film is decidedly not for the faint of heart. It’ll burrow itself into your head for a long, long time."

  "Impressively restrained in its flirtation with full-bore horror, it’s a reminder that when inhumanity is the everyday norm, there may be few things more futile -- or dangerous -- than the stirrings of individual conscience."

  "Twists and turns abound with the most satisfying moments being those in which relationships and expectations of who has power get turned onto their heads."
