Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
As in most of the Quays' fantasias, the narrative is oblique and slow moving but the florid visuals are rife with sexual and psychological overtones.
– J. R. Jones,
Chicago Reader,

rotten:
This opaque tale offers meticulously crafted atmosphere, but rather less passion or drama.
– Bill Stamets,
Chicago Sun-Times,

It is a bold step into a mainstream realm for its ancient fablelike theme, agile storytelling, magnificent design and sure grasp of long-form narrative structure.

Minneapolis Star Tribune,

fresh:
What the movie lacks in acting and coherence, it more than makes up for through imagery.
