	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Lee Marshall Screendaily	"It finally builds a head of emotional steam in its last half hour (...) Here, in the flickering dark, we feel some of that old Erice magic once more"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It is a mysterious, digressive, long and baggily constructed film possessed of a distinctive richness and humanity (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"'Close Your Eyes' is a consummate work of filmmaking by a major artist (...) If cinema is dead, then why is this film so alive?"	POS
United States	David Katz The Film Stage	"A rewarding late work from Víctor Erice"	POS
United Kingdom	Anna Bogutskaya Time Out	"An elegant ode to memory and cinema (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
	Jan Lumholdt Cineuropa	"[Erice's] absolute love of cinema is present in more or less every frame of the probably trimmable 169-minute playing time"	NEU
United States	Cole Kronman Slant	"[It] interprets the unknown as a life already lived, slowly dissolving into memory (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"An aching ode to film, time and memory (...) This exquisite, unhurried exercise in melancholy will mean most to existing fans of the Spanish master, but it's moving enough to make some new ones"	POS
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide The Guardian	"Melancholy magic as Víctor Erice addresses his own enigmatic legacy (...) A beguiling if overlong tale of a missing movie actor (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A gently shattering tribute to the magic of film (...) [it] captures the essence of his entire career."	POS
