"Occasionally, a talent arrives fully formed, and the Canadian-Hungarian director Sophy Romvari is one such phenomenon. Already effortlessly fluent in the language of cinema, she is confident enough to have made a feature debut that is entirely her own." @wendyide, The Observer

"Zlotowski’s frisky handling of the material is difficult to resist, as are many of the romantic and comedic interludes that are liberally sprinkled throughout the proceedings. A Private Life is a lot of fun to watch." Sara Michelle Fetters, MovieFreak.com
