Reviews

  • Each shot is its own little miracle.

    - The San Francisco Chronicle

    26 April 2013

  • One of the most original and stylish films to come along this year.

    V.A. Musetto - New York Post

    26 April 2013

  • The film is told almost entirely without dialogue, but is alive to sound; we spend observant, introspective hours in a Hungarian hamlet where nothing much seems to happen -- oh, except that there's a suspicious death.

    Roger Ebert - The Chicago Sun-Times

    26 April 2013

  • There's scarcely any dialogue, and the "hukkle" sound is universal enough to make subtitles unnecessary and to please an audience of any age and attention span.

    Wesley Morris - The Boston Globe

    26 April 2013

  • A film driven by an elusive plot buried like a cryptogram under the action. It's a delightfully screwy ethnographic murder mystery, beautifully photographed in translucent naturalistic color.
