Leslie Felperin Guardian It’s as if the film wants to keep pulling the rug out from under us, just when we might be thinking we’re in for a bit of brainy cinematic tourism. Rated: 4/5 May 17, 2022 Full Review Fedor Tot Vague Visages A sense of unfulfilled longing characterizes Mariner of the Mountains, and results in a film in which everything is tantalizingly incomplete, the way many lives are. Jun 13, 2023 Full Review Soham Gadre Film Inquiry Mariner of the Mountains is the sort of movie that not only surprises with its own originality but in turn inspires more original filmmaking. Jun 25, 2022 Full Review Glenn Dunks The Film Experience While in other films this could come across as gimmicky, it actually allows the film to dance a dance of fleeting, fluttering memories that brings generations crashing together. Jun 19, 2022 Full Review Sarah Williams In Review Online What works beautifully as a personal family project becomes ... somewhat diluted, a poetry in motion slowed down by its counterpart’s pat verses. May 25, 2022 Full Review Jean-Pierre García EscribiendoCine A unique travel diary that above all is a son's love letter to his mother.
