“With no cutaways, the film’s story and the momentum of the unlikely robbers seems as unstoppable as the camera. The characters are confused, adrenalinized and breathless, as are you.” – Brad Wheeler, Toronto Globe & Mail
“…a euphoric city symphony; a giddy, first-flush love story; a panicky gangland ultimatum; a coke-addled bank heist; a breakneck getaway; a naked dawn rave; a bullet-strewn showdown; a nerve-frying hostage situation; and then some. Victoria is many films for your buck, back to back.” – Tim Robey, The Telegraph
