Critics Consensus

A breezy portrait of bohemian Warsaw elevated by Charli XCX's poised, quietly commanding performance, Erupcja unfurls as a refreshingly genuine, contemplative drama that lingers with understated grace.

For all its loose energy, there’s very little of substance in Ohs’s meagrely plotted curio.

1/5

Acting is not easy, good acting is extremely difficult and being famous certainly doesn’t help. Fame will get dross like this into cinemas but it leaves the limitations of the star subject pitilessly exposed and they become a lesser talent because of it.

4/5

A sharp relationship drama drenched in the casual cool of Charli XCX’s pop persona, with an impressive performance that strips it all way.

It's not groundbreaking, it doesn't expand the discourse, but visually it's very appealing. [Full review in Spanish]

3/5

For those nostalgic enough to recall ‘talky’ 1990s American indies, it all may feel familiar – especially as the foreigner-in-a-European-city trope recalls Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise.

The characters of "Erupcja" are sliding over from young to youngish, and they are coming to suspect that their unformed qualities are less cute than they may have been a few years before. That tension drives the movie.

I liked how simple and romantic this movie was in so short a time and how ‘show don’t tell’ it was with its plot.

This is now the second shortest film to premiere in theaters, next to Look Back. But unlike that movie, this could have been a 52 minute tv episode if you cut all the unnecessary environmental shots and hanging scenes. What is it with Charli XCX and not wanting to be accountable for ANY OF HER ACTIONS/PROJECTS?

It wasn’t over produced. Beautiful story telling, simplistic in the artistry yet detailed in description of natural things such as food , trains etc.
