An aching look at first love in peril, Jacek Borcuch's Lasting shows viewers just enough of its protagonists' bliss to make us brokenhearted at the prospect of its premature end. Fine-tuned on every level, it's unshowy but should generate strong enough word-of-mouth to succeed at the arthouse. / John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter
