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.

It’s deeply intuitive filmmaking that will resonate with anyone who has ever been cruelly ghosted.

Erupcja doesn’t fully earn its wistful stylishness, but then, neither does Bethany.

What I like about the film is that it captures the rhythm of being in a new landscape and how it can change you.

3/5

Mileage may vary as to the efficacy and impact of this love triangle but the smaller characters the trio encounter are memorably drawn, adding to a slice-of-life so effectively rendered through the camera’s gaze.

Erupcja isn’t as explosive as its title might suggest but it perfectly captures the possibility of blowing up your life without having to try very hard.

I love indie films that keep the cinematography simple, but in no way boring. Every shot is visually intriguing while being intentional and efficient.

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.
