Leave your thoughts about The Anchorage.
| Slant MagazineRicky D'AmbroseThe Anchorage collects and uses a variety of stylistic devices that arguably originate with the European art house, and discovers meaningful, thoughtful ways to put them to work. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoThe meditative Swedish movie The Anchorage takes minimalism to the maximum. |
| Time OutDavid FearAudiences with infinite patience and no need for linear storytelling do get an intimate tour of The Anchorage's picturesque island off the coast of Stockholm, its landscapes lensed with loving appreciation. Past that, the experience of sitting through Ulla's daily routines yields little more than a travelogue and a vaguely contemplative vibe. |
| The New York TimesMike HaleAt several points the depiction of Ulla's isolation takes on slasher-movie overtones, which undercuts the general solemnity but doesn't really add anything to the experience. |
| Village VoiceJ. HobermanThe Anchorage uses a narrative structure introduced to more powerful effect 35 years ago in Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman. |
