“Miyazaki’s supernatural masterpiece still enchants.” 5 stars – The Guardian (UK)

“An otherworldly tale of childhood and a definitive work of imagination.” 5 stars – Empire Online
“It is quite possibly the crowning moment of Tarr’s filmography.” 5 stars – Loud and Clear
“Béla Tarr’s brooding masterpiece of a town sleepwalking into tyranny.” 5 stars – The Guardian (UK)
“Bela Tarr’s style seems to be an attempt to regard his characters with great intensity and respect, to observe them without jostling them, to follow unobtrusively as they move through their worlds, which look so ordinary and are so awesome, like ours.” 4/4 stars – Roger Ebert
