Critics' reviews

"An intense three-hour mental workout rewarded with a big emotional payoff"

Peter Debruge: Variety
"A film of limitless imagination, breathtaking visuals and fearless scope."

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Well made but dramatically diffuse art house blockbuster. (...) an impressively mounted, emotionally stilted adaptation (...) a blandish whole, the impact of each story softened by the constant need to connect the dots."

Jordan Mintzer: The Hollywood Reporter
"A trash heap of rubber noses and implausible high school accents that give new meaning to the word 'pretentious' (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)"

Rex Reed: The New York Observer
"This is by no means the best movie of the year, but it may be the most movie you can get for the price of a single ticket"

A. O. Scott: The New York Times
