Glory's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
Directed with wit and structural precision ? there is not a single moment in the film that feels wasted or doesn?t pay off later on ? Glory uses two vastly opposing characters (a communications specialist vs. someone who can barely communicate at all) to depict a society riddled with fraud and cruelty, the latter best exemplified in a scene where Julia?s PR team can?t stop poking fun at Tsanko?s stutter. Everyone ? except perhaps Tsanko, who acts as a sort of a holy fool ? is out to save his or her own skin, including an investigative journalist (Milko Lazarov) who seems to have righteous intentions until we soon learn otherwise.
Indiewire
Sometimes a simple premise leads to deep results. Such is the case with ?Glory? (?Slava?), Buglarian directors Kristina Grozeva and Petar Valchanov?s stirring third feature, which plays like a parable that keeps expanding its themes
Screen Daily
'Glory' has a premise that Frank Capra or Preston Sturges might have loved
New York Times
The variable incongruities of "Glory" give it a queasy power uncommon in contemporary cinema.
Variety
the film quietly builds to a feeling of inexorable disaster, guided by terrific performances as well as spot-on editing
