Slant Magazine

The shadowed border between human and non-human perception is one of the film's sustained topics of interrogation.

Rated: 3/4

For hard-core cinephiles with the patience to journey through a 16mm long take hypnotic universe, and not for those looking for a less experimental, narrative experience. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3/5

There is no narrative and that's okay because Faust is one of those stories that can express and communicate without doing much. [Full Review in Spanish]

Demanding, frustrating, fascinating, and rewarding, Fausto is a richly dense exercise in active viewing.

This metaphysical fixation with shadows helps explain the film's obsession with obstructing our visual clarity-subjects too are often barely illuminated by candlelight-by forcing us to reconsider what is literally in front of our eyes.
