Given the cultural boundaries, there is much in the film that we may never fully grasp, but the less we're told, the more were sucked in by the film's hypnotic, ever-expanding aura of mystery.

In a hospital, ten soldiers are being treated for a mysterious sleeping sickness.

If you haven't seen a Weerasethakul film yet, here's a good opportunity, but leave your expectations at the door. There's no one like him.
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle

The point seems to be a sort of symbolic political wake-up call for a nation where modern life takes a very long time to arrive.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

The actors seem to be miles from the cameras.

An enchanting interpretation of where our sleeping and waking minds wander.
