8 foreign reviews of Tori and Lokita (2022)

1. SVT

10 / 10

Translated from swedish: A great small film that puts all other refugee dramas of our time to shame. Simple, stripped-down, yet incredibly complex at the same time.

2. Nöjesguiden

8.3 / 10

Translated from swedish: They find themselves in a downward spiral in a cynical society, but it is not completely black. The bond they have cannot be cut.

3. Svenska Dagbladet

8.3 / 10

Translated from swedish: The Dardenne brothers' new film "Tori and Lokita" is yet another variation on the theme of solidarity. As always, it is breathtakingly suspenseful.

6. Göteborgs-Posten

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: All Tori and Lokita have is each other, in the Dardenne brothers' profoundly humanistic film. Soon, they won't even have that.
