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.

Its ability to capture the uncertainty of those still searching for a possible life transforms this small independent production into a work with resonances far deeper than its modest appearance suggests. [Full review in Spanish]

Erupcja wants to be a volcanic eruption, but ends up as nothing more than a lit match, beautiful and fascinating when viewed up close, but conventional and forgettable as part of the bigger picture. [Full review in Spanish]

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.

I enjoyed the movie and enjoyed the group of characters and art style of the film. It was a pleasure seeing a small town in Poland as the backdrop to this movie.
