Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Poetic and rhythmically confident, Blissfully Yours is a subtle seduction.
Unlikely to make Weerasethakul a household name -- but it confirms his status as a giant of fourth-world cinema.
After a while, the extremely limited camera movement and languid pacing take an exacting toll, resulting in a viewing experience that is considerably less than idyllic.
