Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org 10/21/2021
A moving historical drama about being pulled in different directions between the past, present and future, As In Heaven is a dark feminist fairy tale with a real sting in the tail. Go to Full Review Fionnuala Halligan Screen International 09/21/2021

B-
Tea Lindeburg’s debut feature, “As in Heaven” (or “Du som er i himlen”), is a beautifully shot period piece that tackles religion intertwined with conflicting faiths, individuality, and gregarious progress. Go to Full Review Carlos Bonfil La Jornada 12/14/2022
The varied stylistic resources and well-handled performances lend splendor and thickness to a film that, in other hands, could've been reduced to a morose chronicle of customs and manners. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Harris Dang The AU Review 08/02/2022
4/5
A powerful period piece that shows the plight of women as they try to break free from social and patriarchal norms. Director Tea Lindeburg manages to marry horror references and understated drama with an assured hand and coaxes nuanced work from her cast. Go to Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage 07/12/2022
A subtle portrayal of the oppression of women that brings anguish at seeing how things were, are, and will continue to be. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
