An interior epic with epic exteriors, a film with very little dialogue, where the pictures (photographed by the great Agnes Godard), actors and the juxtaposition of both tell the story.
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle

Never has Denis demanded so much from audiences as with this shimmering enigma, at once intimate and epic, but it's worth the effort and then some.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Fresh
A beautiful, complex work that challenges viewers to mentally sift interior and exterior journeys.
Jay Weissberg, Variety

Denis composes a majestic dream book of shots and sequences.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
