Slow and often silent, it's an extraordinarily disciplined film that respects, if not honours, the milieu of its story...
Dave Calhoun, Time Out
Fresh
It moves slowly and patiently through the ordeal of a single soul, illuminating in the process a cosmos of intense and hidden feeling.
A.O. Scott, New York Times
Rotten
Quiet, sober and tense, the movie makes some interesting points, but it lacks the emotional firepower of Brokeback Mountain.
Kyle Smith, New York Post

The drama's moments of inspiration vindicate its desultory proceedings.
