"Vanina Kondova stood out as an exceptional talent."
"She is incredibly truthful and the camera loves her."
"Her performance was nothing short of fantastic."
"Everything she does onstage is truthful; there is not a fabricated instinct within her. She naturally has a strong exterior, an almost impenetrable demeanor, but she counters this with a keen and subtle vulnerability that creeps up on you. The overall effect is that she has you, the audience, completely in the palm of her hands."
