A delightfully nasty piece of work, refusing to let either the lawyer or the audience off the hook as Makridis keenly observes how expressing sympathy has become ritualized to the point it no longer has meaning.March 01, 2018
Sharp-witted and entertaining throughout, with a cute final scene that will come as a relief to many viewers, Pity is a polished piece of filmmaking and well worth looking out for.January 16, 2019
In essence, this is more of the same mix of idiosyncratic banality which once seemed novel about a decade prior.January 22, 2018
Markridis has structured Pity as a slow burn, and this works just fine even though he tips his hand early.October 20, 2018
The Greek Weird Wave's tendency to be uncompromising towards the audience is to be expected, and the cruelty that eventually emerges in Pity is unfortunately pretty predictable thanks to the brutality present in both The Lobster and Dogtooth.January 24, 2018
By the end, Pity transcends its simplistic premise to become a cogent allegory for the perils of solipsism.January 20, 2018
Its sharpest passages ... exert the bracing, mouth-shuddering tang of neat ouzo: You know how it's going to taste, but it leaves you wincing anyway.August 05, 2018
The situations are hilarious and horrifying all at once, the winning combination that makes every moment feel like a metaphorical punch in the gut... exactly the way our protagonist would like it.December 21, 2018
This deadpan style isn't fresh or new, and feels downright lackluster even in the hands of an incredibly talented director and screenwriter.January 20, 2018
As stylized as Makridis' second feature is, it's grounded in recognizable behavior, and its sly, dry playfulness reverberates with fascinating questions about emotions and how we portray them.June 28, 2018
A disturbing and oftentimes very funny satire-drama, Pity is about that complex, primal human craving called empathy and the distance we're willing to go to summon it.March 01, 2019
There is no doubt that [Pity] is an interesting proposal, but it's not for everyone. [Full review in Spanish]
