Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org 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. Oct 21, 2021 Full Review Fionnuala Halligan Screen International As In Heaven is an ambitious calling card, and technically accomplished in what it sets out to do. Sep 21, 2021 Full Review Hector A. Gonzalez The Movie Buff 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. Rated: B- Sep 8, 2024 Full Review Carlos Bonfil La Jornada 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] Dec 14, 2022 Full Review Harris Dang The AU Review 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. Rated: 4/5 Aug 2, 2022 Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage A subtle portrayal of the oppression of women that brings anguish at seeing how things were, are, and will continue to be.
