My Son, My Son... may be a minor work in the Herzog canon but it's still one of the more fascinating, frustrating, disturbing and beautiful experiences available to cinemagoers this year.
Tom Huddleston, Time Out
Rotten
One of Herzog's quirky misfires.
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
Fresh
Confounds all convention and denies all expected pleasures, providing instead the delight of watching Herzog feed the police hostage formula into the Mixmaster of his imagination.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
Lynch and Herzog have tickled us for years with their dwarves and iguanas and impenetrable stories. This collaboration represents the vanishing point of willful obscurity.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
