A young man haunts the streets of 19th century Saint Petersburg while he's looking for meaning.

Caryn James

New York Times

Mostly there is extraordinary photography, a palette of dusty gray tones that echo the faded look of 19th-century photographs.

Chicago Tribune

It's an art film that makes as little concession as possible to mass tastes. But if you accept that oddness, Whispering Pages can be a subtly beautiful and rewarding experience.

Rated: 3.5/4

Variety

Fans of abstract helmer Aleksandr Sokurov will find much to admire in Whispering Pages, a mesmeric journey through 19th-century Russian literary themes that looks like Dostoevsky on acid. Most other auds will head for the exit fast.

The heavy going abstract film probably will appeal only to hard-core cinephiles.

Rated: B+
