“A tremendous and moving document. I don’t know how many people can bear it—the war itself, or even just watching this. Everything is captured in an unpretentious, unaffected, and all the more striking way. These dead men on leave all speak like philosophers, as if in an ancient tragedy, as if from the afterlife.”
Gerd Koenen (Publizist und Historiker)
“Thank you so much for letting me watch *Seven Circles* yesterday. I’m deeply impressed—you’ve created a truly magnificent film. I felt a deep connection to and admiration for all the protagonists. And I think you’ve found a cinematic language that does justice to this horror. It’s so important that we never lose sight of what’s currently happening in Europe and the impact this war has on every single person and on all Ukrainians. So, my deepest respect—also for your courage as a film crew!!!“
Christiane Meyer (Redakteurin ZDF)
“I watched the film. It’s really good. Congratulations. .When the voices come from off-screen, they convey a sense of intimacy and confession. The viewer gets the feeling that they are the only person in the world to whom these most secret thoughts are being confided—just like in church before a priest.”
Andrej Alferow, Filmkritiker Kiew Ukraine
