Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertThe Sacrifice is not the sort of movie most people will choose to see, but those with the imagination to risk it may find it rewarding.
Washington Post - 10/10 by Hal HinsonIt's a paradox: a sublime failure. For all its stunning, poetic imagery, it's almost impossible to sit through.
BBC.com - 10/10 by Jonathan TroutA difficult film - slow-paced, unashamedly theatrical and heavily laden with philosophy - yet a profoundly satifying one: a rewarding display of filmmaking mastery that forms a mystical and enigmatic coda to a legendary career.
Guardian - 10/10 by Peter BradshawBrilliant and audacious, with one of the most extraordinary final sequences in modern cinema.
Flick Filosopher - 10/10 by MaryAnn JohansonThe dread chill of the film is a stark reminder of the zeitgeist at the time, which was full of nuclear doom.... What constitutes the tragedy here is what is left open to question.
Time Out - 9/10 by Derek AdamsFor those willing to acccept the tenets of Tarkovsky's cinema of spiritual quest, his esoteric notions of Christian iconography and his obscure approach to cinematic meaning, the film can seem nothing less than miraculous.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Sam WeisbergOnly those who still quiver at the shopworn lament that advancing technology is destroying the world will find the philosophizing vital in this bookish stupor.
Paste Magazine - 9/10 by Sean GandertThe few insecurities in the filmmaking, which stick out in contrast to his Russian works, are easily overlooked by how masterful other scenes are and the impressiveness of the imagery.
Combustible Celluloid - 9/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonTarkovsky punctuates this so-called "plot" with many, many stunningly poetic images, mostly filmed in long takes with delicate tracking shots.
Sight and Sound - 9/10 by Penelope HoustonThere are echoes of Bergman (of course) and of Chekhov, and once or twice I found myself thinking, most unexpectedly, of Heartbreak House.
