The Ambiguity Surrounding Reactions to Cristian Mungiu’s Political Film ‘Fjord’
According to Variety on October 24, 2026, chief film critic Owen Gleiberman raised questions regarding the silence surrounding 'Fjord,' a harrowing and provocative political drama by Cristian Mungiu, two weeks after its release. Gleiberman notes that while another film, 'You Can See Everything,' has become the center of public discourse, 'Fjord'—which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May and, in his view, cuts to the ideological heart of current events—has not sparked the intense debate he anticipated.
