Cohen is an undeniably gifted filmmaker, even if the sum total of this piece isn't quite as interesting as its parts.

Rated: 3/4

New York Times

As Mr. Cohen shifts from one space and time to the next in "Counting," the filmmaker - who has long been "writing" from the world of appearances with his camera - expresses the melancholy and longing embedded in that impossibility.

Battleship Pretension

The term "pure cinema" has become a bit diluted and simplistic over the years, but it's difficult to think of a better use for it than with Jem Cohen's Counting.

One Room With A View

Simultaneously current and timeless, Counting has no message or creed to preach but is no less profound.

Rated: 4/5
