PRESS REVIEWS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - @The Guardian ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - @Sight & Sound "Thoughtful" - @Variety "Kinetic, frantic, breathlessly intense" - @Screen Daily "Beautiful, cinematic monument" - @Business Doc Europe “Precise yet never repetitive, Immortals is a dystopian film that turns into an ode to fragility, and it shows the contrasting feelings of those who allowed themselves the luxury of hoping that David might kill Goliath.“ - @Cineeuropa PRESS PHOTOS
