Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Despite its comedic limitations, this film is up to more than its American adolescent counterparts.

Boston Globe
Writer-director Veit Helmer creates a wildly imaginative world worthy of Gabriel Garca Mrquez at his most playful, drenching it in vivid color and a Slavic sense of bleak humor.

Washington Post
An infectious spirit of whimsy, eroticism and wonder infuses ABSURDISTAN, a beguiling romantic fable....With a gloriously saturated palette, rich textures, a fanciful imagination and an unerring, light touch, Helmer gives ABSURDISTAN a distinct narrative style and visual verve that seem at once ancient and new.
Washington Post
Veit Helmer's latest is a delightful fable sans dialogue...is too enjoyable to go unappreciated offshore.
Variety
The trip to Absurdistan is worth taking, detours and all.

East Bay Express
The film isn't much more than light slapstick bookended by a sweet if lust-driven romance.
Washington City Paper
Rating: 3.5/5 --
Has a folkloric charm buoyed by consistent comic inventiveness.

Product Description:
This magical comedy takes place in Absurdistan, a desert village plagued by drought. The men shirk fixing the water pipelines and so, until they find a solution, the women decide to tighten the spigot on another precious resource: sex. ABSURDISTAN is not based on the novel of the same name by Gary Shteyngart.
Product Description:
Welcome to Absurdistan, a small village in the high desert mountains, just on the outskirts of reality, where magical visions and bizarre events fuse together.
The village is facing a water shortage, but the men are too lazy to fix a rickety pipeline and the women are getting fed up with their good-for-nothing husbands. Led by young Aya, the women make a simple vow: “No water, no sex.” The men's only hope is Temelko, whose long-promised wedding with Aya is put on hold until he finds a solution for the water problem.
