“Lush, irreverent…distinguished by the spotlight it throws on Countess Irma Sztáray, the Empress’s final lady-in-waiting, played with cunning and exuberance by the dependable Sandra Hüller.” — Variety
“[A] proudly unconventional and unabashedly queer film.” – Film Obsessive
“Hüller, who was recently Oscar nominated for Anatomy of a Fall and won acclaim in Toni Erdmann several years ago, shows a welcome light touch in her many scenes with the always winning Wolff,” – Film Forward
