The German Film Rating Commission (FBW) rated ELISA “particularly valuable”, the highest possible title (Besonders Wertvoll)
Auszug aus der Bewertung: „Was Shtubert in ihrem Film aber, dank einer großartigen Ausstattung, einer perfekt ausbalancierten Licht- und Farbstimmung und einer exzellenten Kamera, auch gelingt, ist eine so große atmosphärische Dichte, dass man bis zum überraschenden Schluss der Geschichte mit atemloser Spannung folgt. Beeindruckendes und spannendes Kurzfilm- und Genrekino.“
