Dave Kehr Chicago Reader Straub and Huillet's investigation of the medium is an important experience for anyone interested in the way film represents reality-or fails to. Aug 29, 2018 Full Review Allen Shawn Film Comment Magazine The film scrapes away the reverential patina surrounding religious subject matter to reveal contemporary urgency. Apr 12, 2018 Full Review Richard Brody The New Yorker The stark images are as passionate and engaging, profound and beautiful as the complex music to which they insightfully respond. May 2, 2016 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Compelling and formidable, Straub and Huillet turn Schoenberg's opera into a fascinating cinematic experience which charts the regression of an oppressed people. Rated: 4/5 Aug 26, 2020 Full Review Tomas Trussow The Lonely Film Critic This is something akin to counter-opera, which takes the fundamental signifiers and repurposes them in revolutionary ways. What this begets is both alienating and enlightening. Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 23, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews This is great cinema. Rated: A+ Mar 7, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
