Reviews


83
The Film Stage - Brian Roan
As powerfully felt and gorgeously realized as anything one may see on screen this year.
80
Village Voice - Simon Abrams
Quintana's emphasis on Jungian dream logic gives his otherwise spartan parable a compelling mythic dimension. The Vessel may bring Malick to mind, but it also feels like a major work by an exciting new talent.
78
Austin Chronicle - Steve Davis
The Vessel speaks eloquently. It’s a testament to the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen.
70
Variety - Nick Schager
Cuban-American writer-director Julio Quintana’s feature debut has an understated formal loveliness that helps offset its more heavy-handed allegorical inclinations.
70
Los Angeles Times - Gary Goldstein
It’s a strange brew: stark yet beautiful, urgent yet dreamlike.
