“Mariana Mihut has the temperament of a shrew and Colombine endearments, has a bird’s menacing profile and the sweet roundnesses of a
Boule de suif .Mariana Mihut can be Ana, Master Manole’s wife (drama) and a character in Tudor Musatescu’s plays (mostly comedies). Mariana Mihut can be anything worth convincing and memorable on, however, one condition : to find a director of her caliber”(
Sanda Faur, Almanah Cinema 1975)
“A talent of Niagara’s dimension. One of the most bitter examples of important idle artistic forces of the Romanian comic film.” (
Radu Cosaşu, Magazin Estival Cinema, 1977)
“A twinning of force and tenderness, she accumulates such energy with each and every character she builds that her sublime moments, carefully balanced , are a catharsis for the actress and her audience alike . A force release that may be the equivalent of an earthquake where only those who are worth it can be saved!” (
Cornel Cristian,Magazin Estival Cinema,1984)
