“A thoughtful, deeply felt exploration of how apologies can reshape lives.”
—The Hollywood Reporter (Georg Szalai) — PDF version

“A deeply thought-provoking documentary. Apologies is not only a rare topic of conversation but explores a subject that we never realised we needed to hear… until now.”
— Filmotomy (Hannah Taylor) — PDF version

“It is not a film that offers solutions, rather a painfully beautiful quest to find a language for responsibility, guilt, vulnerability and healing.”
— Junior Mthombeni (theatre maker, KVS Brussels) —

“An intellectual and multidimensional yet extremely sensual, gentle and quietly profound film and a rare, poignant, bold and absolutely necessary interrogation of white guilt and discomfort.” 
— wmxx on Letterboxd  —

“Instead of neat arcs or moral closure, the deeper provocation is aimed at us.
A subtle thunderclap.” ★★★★
—FILMUFORIA (Meredith Taylor) — PDF version

“Simple on one level, but in fact deeply complex, the film asks how we live with the scars of shared violence.”
—BusinessDocEurope (Mark Adams) — PDF version

“The film develops into a fascinating discourse on how we can move on from traumatic events.”
