| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawA lovely, dark fairy tale told in unembarrassed allegory with verve and intelligence. |
| eye WEEKLYJason AndersonVon Trotta's look at the women's standoff is fascinating for its hints of feminism, and a radiant performance by Katja Riemann as a woman whose compassion is her only weapon. |
| Village VoiceDennis LimLive by the meta-movie rules, die by the meta-movie rules: Rhinoceros Eyes is a parable on cine-enchantment that itself fails to enchant. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonUtterly wrongheaded and indistinctly creepy, in that yawn-inducing way of pretentious twaddle... |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenFor all its visual zaniness and its aura of psychic imbalance, the movie, which won the Discovery Award at the Toronto International Film Festival last year, stays on the surface and never locates its own heart of darkness. |

| Globe and MailLiam Lacey... I've come to appreciate the comic side of it. |
| Detroit Free PressJohn MonaghanA movie that doesn't always work but certainly earns high marks for weirdness. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezWhat is the film in the end but a string of mediocre, sometimes humorous non sequitors? |
