A collection of early films by Chantal Akerman.

~ Donald Munro -

Øverbye makes a compelling lead, taking on the chunks of voiceover without any problem but also excelling in terms of conveying her character’s moods via body language

~ Amber Wilkinson -

A moody, unsettling piece.

~ Jennie Kermode -

A sometimes compelling, often baffling work that doesn’t really solve the inherent problem of its subject matter, but swings for the fences trying.

~ Jeremy Mathews -

With a lesser canine star, the film would not have worked, but Nala is sensational.

~ Jennie Kermode -

The director drops her audience into the lives of these two women and lets the rhythm of their lives guide the narrative.

More than just an extended music video.

~ Jennie Kermode -

The heat is omnipresent, rippling through the air, distorting what we see, distorting time and identity.

~ Jennie Kermode -

At its most interesting when the robot-building team is in Herat, its hometown, the film addresses aspects of Afghan life not always noticed by outsiders.

~ Jennie Kermode -

Coppola has style, but sometimes employs too much of it.

Hodierne handles the blend of styles within the film with a laid back confidence that makes it easy to lower one’s guard at the wrong moments.

Bonhoeffer struggles with his faith, but less in the manner of a great thinker and more in that of someone who writes quotes for inspirational posters.

~ Jennie Kermode -
