The subtitle tells the truth; here is a wonderfully restless movie.

Some of the stories are genuinely affecting. But Gomes' arcane storytelling style and frequent use of absurdity will require a good deal of patience from filmgoers.

The stories have an almost dreamlike sweep and imaginative energy, and the film never exhausts that exuberance.
Calum Marsh, Village Voice
