The film's poetry, its combination of sound and image especially, has an unconscious innocence no longer available to most European and American narratives.

Vincent Canby, New York Times
Rotten
Each time a sequence approaches cinematic life, it's flattened by the appearance of a thesis.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
