A must for fans of the avant-garde pixie.
Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times

The galactic and microscopic visuals have a soothing warmth, tending toward shades of gold and dusty rose, while Bjork's electronic-influenced backing oscillates between contained thuds and freer steel-drum-like patterns.
Nicolas Rapold, New York Times
Rotten
Onscreen, Bjork and her musicians simply can't hold us rapt through the many abstract, ponderous moments the way they could onstage.
