J. R. Jones Chicago Reader The film is demanding, intellectually voracious, and reminiscent of Last Year at Marienbad in its brittle aestheticism. Dec 8, 2016 Full Review Ignatiy Vishnevetsky 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. Dec 1, 2016 Full Review Ken Jaworowski New York Times There are several ways to look at these scenes. But all you really have to do is listen. Sep 1, 2016 Full Review Dustin Chang Floating World 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. Feb 14, 2021 Full Review Scott Nye Battleship Pretension That which seems narrow at first approach sometimes reveals itself to be vast and expansive later on. Jan 5, 2021 Full Review Jorge Ayala Blanco El Universal The film that exposes its disjointed idea of ideal love, based on a structure also disjointed itself.
