Leave your thoughts about Northfork.
| Boxoffice MagazineAnnlee EllingsonOne of the most hauntingly beautiful films ever made. |
| Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)Jeffrey WesthoffPerhaps the Polish brothers' strategy is to put the audience to sleep so viewers aren't sure what parts of the movie they watched and what parts they dreamed. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThere has never been a movie quite like Northfork… The movie is visionary and elegiac, more a fable than a story, and frame by frame, it looks like a portfolio of spaces so wide, so open, that men must wonder if they have a role beneath such indifferent skies. |
| Goatdog's MoviesMichael W. Phillips, Jr.Every second of it was entrancing, and the filmmakers did not waste a second of their relatively brief 103 minute running time. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThe movie elegantly mingles drama, comedy, and low-key spiritual resonance. It also has a splendid cast. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasA thoroughly original accomplishment of a high artistic order, Northfork features flawless, spare production design by Ichelle Spitzig and the Polish brothers' father, Del, and cinematographer M. David Mullen's striking images slide effortlessly into Dalí-like Surrealism. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionEleanor Ringel CaterFor those on its peculiar wavelength, everything fits. For those who aren't, it's a painful piece of self-impressed drivel. Either way, you'll know you've been to the movies. |
| New York PostLou LumenickStrictly a love it-or-hate-it proposition, it requires viewers to work at a movie with a narrative that could support at least half a dozen interpretations. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenGets under your skin with its graceful edits and poetic elisions, lovely performances, and faded imagery. |
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinWith their third film, the Polish brothers find their authorial voice, resulting in a lyrical work whose free-floating Lynchian weirdness coalesces into an unexpectedly touching movie. |
