EO

Nominated for an Academy Award for the Best International Feature Film.

“A beguiling and often brutal look at the life of a donkey, this hijacks your heart, your mind, your ears and your eyes from start to finish.”
★★★★★ Alex Godfrey,  Empire Magazine

“We are teased by the idea that we might grasp what EO’s gaze is saying. Perhaps the truth is about the eye of the beholder. What kind of ass, the movie asks, believes they can read a donkey’s mind?” 
★★★★★ Danny Leigh, Financial Times

“Polish arthouse veteran Jerzy Skolimowski, who has scratched out such dark depictions of the human soul as 1970’s psychosexual shocker Deep End, hasn’t lost his edge down the years. He directs with endless compassion but zero sentimentality.”
★★★★★ Philip De Semlyen, Time Out

“Bizarre, beautiful, moving and playful, this is an oddity to cherish, with depths that only reveal themselves – entirely aptly – on the hoof.”
★★★★ Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph

“What is clear is that this donkey’s-eye view of the world sees mankind in all its madness; the laughter and the cruelty; the kindness and the killing (it’s not just animals who suffer sudden death); the love and the hatred intertwined.”
★★★★ Mark Kermode, Observer
