Avant-garde cognoscenti are surely already in line, yet the film is accessible and often hypnotic on an intuitive level.

Ben Kenigsberg, New York Times

The atmosphere is mythic and pervasive. The imagery, of night and nature and dancing flames, seems ripped from liner notes. Even the title sounds like something you might see scrawled across a record sleeve in Gothic typeface.

A.A. Dowd, AV Club

Landscapes and lyric conundrums distinguish the first two-thirds of this find-your-own-meaning artflick, which unfurls like some stranger's life you're half reliving.

Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice

For some this will feel like an arthouse endurance test, but it's shot with real beauty.

Cath Clarke, Time Out
Rotten

An art film that tries but doesn't quite manage to entrance the viewer.

Boyd van Hoeij, Hollywood Reporter
