"Objet a" by Ann Oren in Locarno Film Festival: "Ann Oren’s Spellbinding Tale of Kink, Surgery, and Mushrooms Is a Feast for the Senses (...) More specifically, her work is concerned with unorthodox sexual awakenings, much of it rendering mutations of the flesh — both naturally developing or forced — with such sensuality and spellbinding craft that it could trigger something within even the most white-bread normie viewers." - IndieWire
