"[...] exceptional achievement in giving a recognizable face to those who are often overlooked in society. Through humor and Tara's journey, we get a strong portrait of poverty in Norway and the desperation, pain, and hopelessness she experiences."
- Jury Statement, Bergen International Film Festival
"Med en nydelig blanding av vidd, raseri og satire, viser den desperasjonen mennesker tvinges ut i når man kommer i økonomisk uføre og dermed havner utenfor."
- Sørensens Filmservice
"'Grill' is a testament to the power of storytelling to illuminate the often overlooked realities of our society."
- BNN Breaking
"The cruelty of an uncaring welfare state is brought into sharp relief in Jade Hærem Aksnes’s stomach-churning satirical drama about poverty."
- The Film Verdict
