Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
"The Strange Case of Angelica" tells its tale of love and death with a captivating mix of formality, ambiguity and offbeat humor. On the surface a simple fable, it's actually much more.
– Walter V. Addiego,
San Francisco Chronicle,
7 Jan 2011
fresh:
Nearly every shot in this new movie contains one glory or another.
– Wesley Morris,
Boston Globe,
10 Feb 2011
fresh:
A quiet tale, told through a rarely moving camera and a playful, bewitching smile.
– Moira MacDonald,
Seattle Times,
14 Apr 2011
rotten:
An uneven but intriguing piece of whimsy that veers from powerfully symbolic cinematography into self parody.
– Kate Taylor,
Globe and Mail,

rotten:
The Strange Case of Angelica is indeed strange and unsettling. What it isn't is compelling or satisfying.
