Reception
Critical response
Richard Mowe of 'Eye For Film' wrote, "kop had made a series of award-winning documentaries before his feature dbut on Eva Nov, and now Let There Be Light confirms his talents as an assured director of actors and a director-writer of great economy and rigour.".'The Prague Reporter' wrote, "Holding together Let There Be Light is an especially empathetic lead performance from Ondrk: his Milan, at first presented as an irrepressibly cheerful character who just wants to do the right thing slowly has the positive outlook drained right out of him during the course of the movie.". Alissa Simon of 'Variety' wrote, "The multilayered Let There Be Light is an earnest, relatable state-of-the-nation drama from helmer-writer Marko kop that highlights xenophobia, religious hypocrisy and the rise of the extreme right in a small Slovak village.".Accolades
