Leave your thoughts about Two Years at Sea.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzFascinating study of a self-sufficient man living with nature somewhere in the wilds of the Aberdeenshire forest. |
| The DissolveNoel MurrayRivers' use of older camera equipment gives Two Years At Sea the look of an old piece of film that's been left behind by a long-gone civilization, capturing the last man on Earth, and showing how he made use of all the old junk society left behind. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsThe first feature-length effort by noted experimental filmmaker Ben Rivers demonstrates such mastery of the image that it's worth seeing for the textures alone. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchIt's a contemplative film, and most members of the audience are likely to be contemplating how they can get out of the cinema without appearing to be philistines. |
| Eye for FilmAnton Bitelrepeated, often prolonged images of Williams napping also unavoidably bring home the film's soporific effect on the viewer. If the protagonist can sleep through his own feature, why shouldn't we? |
| Little White LiesVadim RizovA remarkably lyrical and ideologically cohesive doc-fiction hybrid. |
| Time OutDave CalhounIt begs one question: can a man being filmed day and night really be tagged a hermit? But, then, that's our tag, not the film's. Tricky, this film, tricky. |
| User ReviewOcta VNot really a review but, well, it's mesmerizing. |
| User ReviewPaul DAn artistic window on the world, possibly more of an art-house film than a documentary. |
