Critical response
In Limbo was awarded the Youth Jury Prize at the Warsaw Film Festival.[7]
Film critic Yulia Shagelman gave the film a negative review. She opined that "the awkward remarks of teenagers in phone videos at the beginning of the film ultimately prove to be far more accurate and honest than the subsequent hundred minutes".[8] Valery Kichin, on the contrary, praised the film, particularly noting the performances of the leading actors, as well as Hunt's characterization.[9]
