If the overall tone is bleak in its portayal of betrayals, loneliness and disillusionment, Angelopoulos' assured control of mood, Giorgos Arvanitis' superb camerawork, and the kids' glowing performances provide ample pleasures.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out

There are sights in the film that once seen cannot be forgotten.

To say that the Greek filmmaker Theo Angelopoulos is a movie poet doesn't mean that the poetry isn't patience-trying or mediocre.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post

Angelopoulos observes this youthful epic with seasoned restraint.
