Night Train:
"Kawalerowicz's masterwork... visually magnificent"
Bright Lights Film Journal
"A superbly taut thriller, constantly challenging its audience... the tension is unbearable and well handled at all times" thirtyframesasecond
Innocent Sorcerers:
"Compelling lead performances and the vivid portrait of a newly restless milieu" Time Out
"This is an existentialist film – not a fairy tale – and it's dense with allegorical meaning: a critique of Marxist and Catholic culture of the time. It's also a portrait of sexual politics in Poland at the start of the 60s" Renata Murawska
Eroica:
"A darkly comic, intelligent, and unorthodox chronicle... a clever, engaging, and insightful satire on duty, courage, and heroism" Strictly Film School
"An impetuous, seminal anti-war rumination... Munk's visual savvy and screwball daring are unique" Village Voice
Goodbye, See You Tomorrow:
"Polish cinema's best-kept secret" Michał Oleszczyk
"Drawn with much cool irony... it does succeed in capturing a sense of place and of summer days in a sleepy town (all beautifully caught in Jan Laskowski's photography). It's the details, in fact, that one remembers... one that stays in the mind" Monthly Film Bulletin
