Reviews


100
Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt
Stands with the greatest science-fiction movies ever made.
100
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas
A dazzlingly imaginative work with awesome production values and special effects that bear comparison to those of "2001."
100
Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington
An amazing celluloid poem by a filmmaker whom Ingmar Bergman called "the greatest." He very nearly was. He was also, perhaps, too pure a creator and reckless a citizen to survive unscathed.
90
Washington Post - Desson Thomson
His (Tarkovsky's) pictures, and his sounds -- such as the symphonic drip of raindrops in a wooded pond -- tell more than just the immediate story; they rejuvenate the mind.
90
Chicago Reader - Jonathan Rosenbaum
Tarkovsky's eerie mystic parable is given substance by the filmmaker's boldly original grasp of film language and the remarkable performances by all the principals.
