"A well done homage to early films. Bergman-esque – but ominous! Such an original idea for a film!"
Priscilla Nedd-Friendly, Editor, American Pie, Pretty Woman, An Officer and a Gentleman, Stuart Little 2
"Moody…austere. I love it. The compositions are eerie and haunting, and the director is patient in his editing. The ambient sounds and the bells are solemn and evocative. This is just terrific stuff – really beautiful."
Tim Ryan, Senior Editor at the film review site Rotten Tomatoes
