3/5

The lack of subplots and supporting characters eventually becomes limiting but there are great performances, and you’ll admire Kavtaradze’s easygoing shooting style.

3/5

What keeps Slow buoyant is the rapport between its very convincing leads — the wry, saturnine Cicėnas and Grinevičiūtė, who exudes humour and no-nonsense sensuality.

4/5

Marija Kavtaradze has made an admirable romantic drama – slow-moving but tender. And its power comes from the way it portrays asexual relationships.

B+

Slow is a welcome fresh and modern spin on the star-crossed lovers format, zooming in from some universal perspective on an extremely intimate story of two people whose romance shouldn’t be all that complicated.

Slow is a tender, crushing film about two people in love who struggle to make their relationship work. Elena and Dovydas are instantly smitten with each other but run into a roadblock when Dovydas clarifies that he’s asexual.
