Reviews
"Embassy" has received a mixed reception from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, the movie holds a modest rating of 4.7/10, reflecting a generally lukewarm response. Some reviewers praised the film's comedic approach to a serious historical period, with particular commendation for its satirical depiction of Cold War diplomacy. However, others found the pacing uneven and felt that the humor was sometimes overshadowed by a convoluted plot and underdeveloped characters. Notably, some critics appreciated Magdalena Grąziowska's performance as a standout element, bringing depth and charm to the film. Though "Embassy" may not have attracted widespread international acclaim or made a significant impact on major critic aggregator sites like Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, it remains a culturally interesting piece for audiences interested in Polish cinema and historical satire. Overall, while the film offers moments of insight and comedy, it divides opinion with its execution and narrative cohesion.
