You either go with Dumont's arrogant series of conundrums and paradoxes or - as I do - you see them as mere meaningless 'effects' with little rhyme and no reason.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out

Dumont, as if trying to make sure nobody wants to see his movie, named it after a female Flemish poet from the 13th century, but - please read the rest of this sentence - the movie is set in modern times.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Should delight Dumont's fans. For others, it will take a bit of getting used to. The effort will prove to be worthwhile.
V.A. Musetto, New York Post

It's a beautiful and mysterious work with a rhythm all its own.
Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com

With Hadewijch, [Dumont] endorses something like the Dardenne brothers' rugged, squalid secular humanism, offering the barrier-breaking embrace as vague alternative to Despair, Church, or Capital.
