United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"An intelligently constructed and spectacularly well-photographed film. We admire its gifts even though they tend not to involve us (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Steve Rose The Guardian	"'Images' stands up far better than most of its contemporaries. Not quite the greatest discovery since hash, but an intoxicating watch all the same."	POS

United States	Chuck Bowen Slant	"An enchanting and dazzling work of intellectualized style—a hallucinatory objet d’art (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
