Press Recognition

"Kristina Lorent Goztola is yet another example of how the encounter between Hungarian talent and French artistry can lead to exciting, profound, and universal results.
Her name has become synonymous with intellectually rich, emotionally nuanced acting, and with that rare ability to speak directly to the viewer's soul - even through the film screen."

"is at once heartbreakingly human and profoundly metaphysical. In the hospital scenes, she conveys the tangible reality of pain, while in alternative futures, she captures the subtle stirrings of the subconscious. She compels the audience to remember not her death, but the possibilities of her life - this is the greatest power of her performance."
