Set in Poland, ERUPCJA follows two women as they complicate their romantic lives. Nel lives in Warsaw where she works at a flower shop. When her childhood friend Bethany comes to visit with a new boyfriend, a volcano erupts.

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.

The result here has a blossom-fresh, loosey-goosey feel. Kudos too that the characters are treated with such sad, sweet generosity.

Think of it as Premium-Class Mumblecore, with tempting extra features like ‘Foreign location; retro European art-cinema detailing; famous singer moonlighting as an actress’.

3.5/5

At just 71 minutes, Erupcja is more sketch than statement. But its potent snapshot of roads not taken stays long after the credits have rolled.

2/5

Ohs is an experimental filmmaker and doesn’t always finish a script before he shoots. It shows, and Erupcja – a collaborative exercise that promises plenty but delivers little – is clearly making itself up as it goes along.

Erupcja captures the fleeting magic of vacationing in a foreign land and wanting it to somehow last forever…even though if it did, it wouldn’t be very magical anymore.

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.

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?

It wasn’t over produced. Beautiful story telling, simplistic in the artistry yet detailed in description of natural things such as food , trains etc.
