The same 11 minutes from the lives of different characters presented in parallel stories: an obsessively jealous husband, his wife-actress, a sneaky Hollywood director, a drug courier, a hot dog vendor with an obscure past, a girl with a beloved dog, a frustrated student on a risky mission, a mountaineer cleaning hotel windows, an ambulance crew, a group of nuns and an old painter. Before the last second of the eleventh minute, their fate is linked by an event that will definitely affect their lives.

https://web.archive.org/web/20170614024530/http://www.metacritic.com/movie/11-minutes live Chuck Bowen of Slant Magazine gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, writing, "The directorial ingenuity of 11 Minutes is so evident and flamboyant that it's tempting to overlook the accomplishments of Skolimowski’s script, which abounds in shorthand and overheated implication." He added, "The film's final Rube Goldberg-ian flourish refutes the banal humanity of many multiple-character studies, convincingly insisting that only death shall bring us together, unifying our vastly differing gulfs of emotional experience."https://www.slantmagazine.com/film/11-minutes/ 11 Minutes Slant Magazine Chuck Bowen 4 April 2016 16 March 2020 17 March 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200317234906/https://www.slantmagazine.com/film/11-minutes/ live David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter described the film as "an empty feat of technical virtuosity driven by a bleakly obvious vision of the murky morality of the post-9/11 world."https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/jerzy-skolimowskis-11-minutes-venice-821224 '11 Minutes' ('11 Minut'): Venice Review The Hollywood Reporter David Rooney 9 September 2015 16 March 2020 28 August 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200828123230/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/jerzy-skolimowskis-11-minutes-venice-821224 live Accolades Award Year of ceremony Category Recipient(s) Result Ref(s) Reference(s) Venice Film Festival 2015 Special Mention: Young Jury Members of the Vittorio Veneto Film Festival 11 Minutes https://cineuropa.org/en/newsdetail/298473/ Blood of My Blood wins Venice's FIPRESCI award Cineuropa 12 September 2015 16 March 2020 7 October 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20221007030749/https://cineuropa.org/en/newsdetail/298473/ live Lisbon & Estoril Film Festival 2015 Best Film 11 Minutes https://cineuropa.org/en/newsdetail/301732/ Jerzy Skolimowski's 11 Minutes gets Lisbon & Estoril's top prize Cineuropa Vitor Pinto 16 November 2015 16 March 2020 8 October 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20221008234353/https://cineuropa.org/en/newsdetail/301732/ live Polish Film Awards 2016 Best Editing Agnieszka Glińska https://cineuropa.org/en/newsdetail/305981/ Body triumphant at the Eagles in Poland Cineuropa Dorota Hartwich 8 March 2016 16 March 2020 8 October 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20221008103924/https://cineuropa.org/en/newsdetail/305981/ live CinEast 2016 Critics Prize 11 Minutes https://cineuropa.org/en/newsdetail/318963/ Mellow Mud makes a splash at CinÉast Cineuropa Vitor Pinto 24 October 2016 16 March 2020 8 October 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20221008084551/https://cineuropa.org/en/newsdetail/318963/ live European Film Awards 2016 Best Sound Designer Radosław Ochnio https://deadline.com/2016/12/european-film-awards-winners-2016-full-list-1201868099/ 'Toni Erdmann' Sweeps European Film Awards; Makes History At Message-Heavy Ceremony – Full List Deadline Hollywood Nancy Tartaglione 10 December 2016 16 March 2020 11 December 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20161211141204/https://deadline.com/2016/12/european-film-awards-winners-2016-full-list-1201868099/ live See also List of submissions to the 88th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film List of Polish submissions for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film References External links 3865478 11minutes 11_minutes Category:2015 English-language films Category:2015 Irish films Category:2015 Polish-language films Category:2015 films Category:2015 multilingual films Category:2015 thriller films Category:English-language Polish films Category:English-language thriller films Category:Films directed by Jerzy Skolimowski Category:Films scored by Paweł Mykietyn Category:Films set in Warsaw Category:Films shot in the Republic of Ireland Category:Films shot in Warsaw Category:Films with screenplays by Jerzy Skolimowski Category:Hyperlink films Category:Irish thriller films Category:Nonlinear narrative films Category:Polish multilingual films Category:Polish thriller films Category:Polish-language thriller films Category:2015 Polish films
