Sinekatalog’s take
A literate, claustrophobic chamber drama about a famous philosopher's circle and a young woman drawn into it. It is more interested in ideas and emotional power games than in plot, handsomely mounted, and best for viewers who like cerebral period pieces.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
