Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter Director Tommaso Santambrogio’s beautifully realized first feature, Oceans Are the Real Continents, presents a number of intriguing paradoxes: It’s both grounded in realism and highly stylized, like a social documentary shot by a first-class photographer. Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Peter Debruge Variety If this is cinema as poetry, these are verses made to be framed and admired, rather than sung or felt. Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Carlos Aguilar RogerEbert.com Filmed with marvelous attention to subtle contrasts possible in its monochromatic palette, the frames brim with a built-in timelessness. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Lee Jutton Film Inquiry Oceans Are the Real Continents is a beautiful, bittersweet love letter to a place and a people that remain irrevocably intertwined even in separation. Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Derek Chen Spectrum Culture Revolving around three distinct stories, each of a different generation, Tommaso Santambrogio’s bold, gorgeous feature debut offers a faint solace in the poetry of longing and an appreciation of how we remain connected to those we love.
