Travis DeShong In Review Online Oceans does require attentive patience from the viewer, but in exchange Santambrogio delivers a wistful and poetic journey sure to linger on in memory. Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Zhuo-Ning Su Awards Daily Oceans Are the Real Continents is a dazzling film to look at and -- better yet -- to lose yourself in. Sep 1, 2023 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film There’s a still photographic quality to the cinematography...with the studious, fixed framing matching the meter of the film and allowing time for us to appreciate the texture, not just of the lives of these characters but the spaces they inhabit. Rated: 4/5 Aug 31, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
