(OK) Great style and camerawork, composition and acting, the film flies as the cranes till the formalism, but there´s passion associated with the style, and a extreme torn character, Tatiana between a lost love and repentance...

"13.2.2020, YLE Areena Katsoin tämän kymmenisen vuotta sitten, mutta muistikuvat olivat kohtalaisen olemattomat, ja Areena tarjosi nyt ystävällisesti mahdollisuuden uusintakatselulle. Kuvauksellisesti ja valaistuksellisesti tää on kyllä ihan heittämällä maailman kauneimpien elokuvien joukossa, joita on toki jokunen, mutta tää on ehdottomasti yks niistä. Todella luovat leikkaukset muuan hahmon kuolinkohtauksessa ja Veronikan juostessa kohti junaraidetta ovat myös hatunnoston arvoisi"
