| CineVueChristopher MachellMark Cousins' Stockholm is a contradictory space of both perdition and redemption ... where time does not pass but is layered with memory and experience. |
| One Room With A ViewPJ NabarroCousins never really justifies his specific, abstract take on his subject matter across a feature-length format. |
| PopMattersJohn BurnsMark Cousins' directing cannot be ignored, and his unique visual style contributes to the complete feel of this charming work. |
| Time OutDave CalhounThere's always a sense of wide-eyed wonder to Mark Cousins's films. |
| Total FilmTom DawsonOccasionally rambling, it's kept afloat by an eclectic soundtrack and Christopher Doyle's striking urban lensing. |

| GuardianPeter BradshawIt is a study of grief suppressed and a personality becalmed. |
| Observer (UK)Simran HansCherry's sultry, resonant voice helps along the otherwise wafty narration, which skirts themes of personal trauma before opening out to broader reflections on both the city and the soul. |
