Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter 3d
Morina’s slow-burning third feature, after Babai and Exil, is attuned to every held breath and hopeful, wary or wounded glance of its two leads, Astrit Kabashi and Flonja Kodheli, who deliver performances of exquisite understatement. Go to Full Review Guy Lodge Variety 3d
Though his latest is a slow burn offering little in the way of hope or levity, Morina doesn’t trade in one-note miserablism either: Intricately observed domestic dynamics keep the drama textured and humane. Go to Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture 3d
In other words, the film’s relentless authenticity dissolves into the visionary as it proceeds — suggesting that Shaban and Hatixhe have gained something resembling dual consciousness, a class sense of how they look to everyone else around them. Go to Full Review Gregory Ellwood The Playlist 1d
B+
Despite these events occurring a half a world away, the challenges are very close to home. In this current economy, the fates of Shaban, Hatixhe, and their family could await you or anyone in your sphere faster than you may want to admit. Go to Full Review Jordan Raup The Film Stage 2d
Crafted with a documentary-like realism and scripted with the meticulous patience of a Cristian Mungiu or Nuri Bilge Ceylan film. Go to Full Review Santanu Das Hindustan Times 3d
4/5
Shame and Money is a plea for the many Shabans and Hatixhes who endure and carry on, hoping the next day will be a little easier. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
