Release[]

The film was set to have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2020, however, the festival was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] In July 2020, it was announced Gutek Film, TriArt, and Mubi had acquired distribution rights to the film in Poland, Sweden and the United States.[4][5]

Reception[]

Sweat holds a 98% approval rating on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 48 reviews, with an average rating of 7.5/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Well-acted and appropriately beautiful, Sweat takes a thoughtful, empathetic look at social media fame."[6] The film won the Gold Hugo at the Chicago International Film Festival.[7]

In a review of the film Giuseppe Sedia wrote on Kino Mania: "While there is no ground to label Sweat as a sophomore slump, von Horn could have gone over the argument that social influencers can have a very complex inner life just like anybody else". He also praised the performance of Zbigniew Zamachowski "who seems to come out straight from an episode of Kieślowski’s Dekalog".[8]
