It's a novelty, and an educational one at that. It reminds you of just how dumb your average movie is these days.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Overview
Using almost no dialogue, the film follows a number of residents (both human and animal) of a small rural community in Hungary – an old man with hiccups, a shepherdess and her sheep, an old woman who may or may not be up to no good, some folk-singers at a wedding, etc. While most of the film is a series of vignettes, there is a sinister and often barely perceptible subplot involving murder.

Unclassifiable and wildly original.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

So precisely and hypnotically assembled it could have been directed by a particularly whimsical metronome.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

What film is all about, but all too often isn't -- it challenges its audience to look at the world in a different way.
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle

At once impressive and indulgent, hypnotic and patience-inducing with its languorous rhythms.
