Movie Reviews

New York Times - 9/10 by A.O. ScottFor all its brooding atmosphere and visual poeticism, the film offers a perspective on the lives of its characters that feels narrow and superficial.
Oregonian - 9/10 by Marc MohanAloft reminded me of the work of another Latin American filmmaker, Alejandro González Iñárritu, who made somber, constipated dramas such as "Babel" and "Biutiful" before loosening up and conjuring the lunatic profundity of "Birdman." Llosa has the intelligence and directing chops — Aloft looks fantastic — to do wonders, but she should take a cue from him and warm up by just chilling out.
New York Magazine/Vulture - 8/10 by Bilge EbiriI found myself often enraptured by this sad little story. Its weird narrative of faith healing serves as an intriguing diversion from the real matter at hand — the notion that grace lies in the search for help, rather than the finding of it.
Toronto Star - 8/10 by Bruce DeMaraIt's a meditative and intriguing tale filled with mystical imagery that never reveals all of its secrets. That's a good thing.
Blu-ray.com - 8/10 by Brian OrndorfDoesn't work as a whole, but it's wise enough where it counts, briefly understanding the sophistication of grief, relationships, and guilt.
The Playlist - 8/10 by Jessica KiangAloft and its icy landscapes and feel of gently dropping barometric pressure can only distract so far from what is essentially an overwrought melodrama that here and there tips over into heavy-handedness despite the restrained beauty of its images.
Detroit News - 8/10 by Tom LongJust when you're ready for "Aloft" to take wing, it ends.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette - 8/10 by Philip Martin... a beautiful slog, a needlessly complicated allegory that supplies us with some fraught falcon imagery and a couple of affecting moments before evaporating before our eyes, leaving us with the vague suspicion that we've missed some larger point.
The Public (Buffalo) - 8/10 by M. FaustWhen the film is over, the story seems rather less interesting than it might have been had it played out more conventionally, though it also seems unfinished.
Cinencuentro - 8/10 by Sebastian Zavala KahnAll that Aloft wants to do is to tell a story about a son and his mother, surrounding it with spiritual themes and metaphors involving falconry. [Full review in Spanish]
