Stark, intermittently brilliant.
Steve Daly, Entertainment Weekly

One of the director's most personal creations, it's a courageous experiment with a craggy barbaric splendor all its own.
Elliott Stein, Village Voice

There is force in this rough, hasty rendering; the sheer speed of the pacing gives it a quality of crushing delirium.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

Adventurous film-making that takes risks, and full of imaginative flourishes.
