Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
This truly intimate film invites viewers to commune as well and feel a profound living connection with fellow humans of 30,000 years ago.

The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
To call this movie fascinating is akin to calling the Grand Canyon large.

Variety - Justin Chang
Filtering the world's oldest paintings through the latest in cinematic technology, Werner Herzog delivers a one-of-a-kind art-history lesson in Cave of Forgotten Dreams.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Spellbinding.
80
Empire - Adam Smith
A typically quixotic documentary in which great unknown artists from 35,000 years ago collaborate with one in 2011. Profound, mysterious and utterly absorbing.
