Review
Hossein Eidizadeh wrote for [https://kinoscope.org/ ] that "Virtually the entire film happens in Romans apartment. For most of the film, we see him cycling madly on an exercise bike; we see the expansion and contraction of his muscles, as if we are following the routines of a laboratory rat under examination. You get so close to Roman and his obsession that, by the end of the film, you are out of breath, as if having cycled for two hours. Sedlks first film is visually compelling; he creates an ominous atmosphere in which the only sound heard is Romans breathing, his cycle, and the oxygen machine. arlota (Tereza Hofov), Romans wife, longs for a baby and the presence of the oxygen tent adds another level to this already horrifying story of alienation and makes way for the hard-to-forget ending of this domestic thriller."
