Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Reygadas' jagged, broken-logic drama lurches from fantasy to earthbound complications, though it is often hard to tell one from the other.

fresh:
The result calls for a viewing as different as looking at a Vermeer against Rothko or de Kooning or multiple other modern painters.

fresh:
Along with Bela Tarr and Terrence Malick, Carlos Reygadas is one of today's few genuinely religious filmmakers.

fresh:
Moviegoers beholden to clean narrative may feel they need their own explanatory GPS and audio guide. But the richer reward lies in allowing oneself to be led by this gifted director's instinct for lyrical, sensory exploration.

rotten:
This one delivers a grand pictorialism and piercing existential moments that float atop the maundering narrative like noodles in soup.
