(4 hjerter) Politiken
"KLIMA-KLIMAKS. Anna Mendelssohn græder sig gennem sin enmands klimakonference - med fuldt overlæg og præcis doseret."
"Hun forstår at dosere. Med en godt ironisk undertone forstår
Mendelssohn at gennemspille sit tåre game. En raffineret orkestreret
balancegang på klimakatastrofens tynde is, der både afspejler hendes
helt autentiske smertende desperation over de smeltende poler og samtid
udstiller hele det omgivende økopolitiske emotionelle spil."
