"The Silver Hugo for Best Actor goes to Bartosz Bielenia in Corpus Christi. The jury found impressive force and unanticipated choices in his performance; he charmingly builds Daniel, a character whose embrace of dishonesty becomes a kind of integrity."

"The 2019 award for best actor goes to a character interpretation which has charmed the jury with his charismatic energy. This is an actor who is ready to go all the way. He manages, through formal representation, to shift between strength and vulnerability, madness and holiness, all through an unforgettable glance of the eye."

"In this profound and movinfg tale an atmosphere of paradox and irony is created as an unlikely hero boldly struggles with his salvation. While striving to liberate others he rebels against the closed conservative and religious establishment. His rebellion leaves an influence and turns him into a tragic hero coming straight out of the Reneissance. The extraordinary film marks an important genuale of a great Poish cinematic tradition."
