Set in Poland, ERUPCJA follows two women as they complicate their romantic lives. Nel lives in Warsaw where she works at a flower shop. When her childhood friend Bethany comes to visit with a new boyfriend, a volcano erupts.

Critics Consensus

A breezy portrait of bohemian Warsaw elevated by Charli XCX's poised, quietly commanding performance, Erupcja unfurls as a refreshingly genuine, contemplative drama that lingers with understated grace.

Erupcja doesn’t fully earn its wistful stylishness, but then, neither does Bethany.

What I like about the film is that it captures the rhythm of being in a new landscape and how it can change you.

2.5/4

Despite the narrow visual confines, there’s space for the characters and relationships to reveal themselves. We feel dropped into the bohemian corners of Warsaw.

7.5/10

Thrumming with kinetic energy that buzzes with the intensity of a good bassline, Erupcja is, at times, an intoxicating journey of wayward long nights and proximity.

3.5/4

Charli XCX delivers her best performance yet in the arthouse gem from writer-director Pete Ohs. The influences here range from Richard Linklater and Jim Jarmusch to Susan Seidelman and Greta Gerwig.

After seeing this simple but emotive essay, I’m more than convinced that Charli has a future on the screen for many decades to come.

I liked how simple and romantic this movie was in so short a time and how ‘show don’t tell’ it was with its plot.

This is now the second shortest film to premiere in theaters, next to Look Back. But unlike that movie, this could have been a 52 minute tv episode if you cut all the unnecessary environmental shots and hanging scenes. What is it with Charli XCX and not wanting to be accountable for ANY OF HER ACTIONS/PROJECTS?

It wasn’t over produced. Beautiful story telling, simplistic in the artistry yet detailed in description of natural things such as food , trains etc.
