"Everything in this film seems real. The banter, the occurances, the atmosphere. Because they're believable, the characters are fascinating to watch. A masterpiece of acting and dialogue."
"Uses crafted cinematography, beautiful music, and a real but poetic atmosphere to tell a story. And thus captures so many feelings and thoughts that dialogue cannot."
"This, The Postman Always Rings Twice, and The Big Sleep, are brilliant hard boiled films. Class, driving passions, and at the centre men who remain composed throughout."
"A film that draws you into another way of thinking through it's beauty and setting, then stirs your thoughts about consciousness, existence and other people."
"A film that communicates on a trance-like level. Cinematography based on it's vastness and palette of reds, and a story that is both creepy yet understandable."
