The Man from London' lacks the grandiose 'cosmic' intimations of the director's past work, and though it contains many moments of sublime cinematic choreography, this is finally good Tarr, but not great Tarr.

The Man From London, directed by Bela Tarr, is an outrageously stylized, conceptually demanding film.
Nathan Lee, New York Times
Rotten
Tarr struggles to adapt to an outmoded genre and, in the end, produces his least personal work to date.
Ed Gonzalez, Village Voice
Fresh
Feels like no other film that you've seen before. It's cerebral and lugubrious, yet simple as a fairy tale.
Dana Stevens, Slate

Demanding, and certainly not to everyone's taste (patience is needed), the film nevertheless has the power to thrill and amaze.
David Fear, Time Out New York
