“Jewel of slow cinema is a wondrous meditation. The movie means, remain open; even so, this is a quietly amazing feature debut. It’s compassionate, intimate, spiritual and mysterious.The panoramic intelligence of this film is a wonder.”
The Guardian
“Vietnamese writer-director Pham Thiên Ân’s hypnotically paced debut is an odyssey. The execution and the existential questioning show a very individual artist bursting and taking wing.”
Sight and Sound
“Pham manages to float existential and spiritual questions into Thien’s consciousness and ours without trying to offer solutions, at least in language.”
