"A character study of a woman desperately trying to resolve one identity with another. An anxious, storm-brewing melodrama. Gravely composed, its controlled expansiveness of tone, psychology and camera mark its helmer as a stylist of considerable, unpredictable finesse."
"Actress Gabriela Muskala delivers a tense, seething central performance as the woman who rises from the dead. Her hard stares and muscular, almost ‘animalistic’ movement imbues the whole film with a strained energy."
"Questions of female identity, family responsibility and the stifling expectations of others are neatly embedded in the moody psychological drama Fugue. Director Agnieszka Smoczyńska delivers a poised, consistently intriguing combination of suspense with a timely consideration of a woman’s journey towards self realization. A satisfying, thought-provoking exploration of the commitment and sacrifice required to be true to yourself."
