Critics Consensus

A breezy portrait of bohemian Warsaw elevated by Charli XCX's poised, quietly commanding performance, Erupcja unfurls as a refreshingly genuine, contemplative drama that lingers with understated grace.

Erupcja doesn’t fully earn its wistful stylishness, but then, neither does Bethany. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
Despite the narrow visual confines, there’s space for the characters and relationships to reveal themselves. We feel dropped into the bohemian corners of Warsaw. Go to Full Review

3/5
Mileage may vary as to the efficacy and impact of this love triangle but the smaller characters the trio encounter are memorably drawn, adding to a slice-of-life so effectively rendered through the camera’s gaze. Go to Full Review

Erupcja isn’t as explosive as its title might suggest but it perfectly captures the possibility of blowing up your life without having to try very hard. Go to Full Review

John D May 10 I liked how simple and romantic this movie was in so short a time and how ‘show don’t tell’ it was with its plot. See more jesse v May 7 This is now the second shortest film to premiere in theaters, next to Look Back. But unlike that movie, this could have been a 52 minute tv episode if you cut all the unnecessary environmental shots and hanging scenes. What is it with Charli XCX and not wanting to be accountable for ANY OF HER ACTIONS/PROJECTS? See more Patrick May 2 It wasn’t over produced. Beautiful story telling, simplistic in the artistry yet detailed in description of natural things such as food , trains etc. See more Remy May 1 Power of female friendship See more m Apr 30 finally something fresh and new See more Marie Ange U @Mahari May 13 I have watched this trailer, and it is very beautiful.
