“Staggering. A remarkable new kind of filmmaking experience.”

“It’s impossible to describe… and even more impossible to forget."

“A flat-out masterpiece. If Bi Gan’s goal was to reinvent the language of film, he might have done achieved that goal.”

“Mesmerizing. An immersive, jaw-dropping plunge into melancholy and movie magic.”

“Swooningly beautiful... with a staggering 55-minute 3-D tracking shot that must be seen to be believed.”

"Like nothing you've seen before. Like many great filmmakers—from Alain Resnais and Andrei Tarkovsky to David Lynch and Apichatpong Weerasethakul, all of whom he recalls to varying degrees—Bi [Gan] seems to believe that new realms of cinema are possible in making the immaterial material."
