Chicago Reader

The film is demanding, intellectually voracious, and reminiscent of Last Year at Marienbad in its brittle aestheticism.

AV Club

The movie-which was made on a tiny budget with a non-professional cast and no crew to speak of-finds the critical discourse in poetry and vice versa.

Academy of Muses is an intellectually, emotionally and stylistically satisfying viewing experience and by far the most invigorating cinematic exercise I've seen this year.

El Universal

The film that exposes its disjointed idea of ideal love, based on a structure also disjointed itself. [Full review in Spanish]
