Movie Reviews

Reviews:
"Beautiful, strange, disturbing, EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT is a film with a lot on its mind." - 02/18/2016 Los Angeles Times


"There is an undeniable appeal to a movie that’s made to be picked apart and analyzed as much as this one is, where the props seem to be cross-referencing each other, every incident and character has a mirror image, and even the protagonist is played by two people." - 02/16/2016 A.V. Club


3 stars out of 4 -- "It is intelligent and sensitive and assembled with a great care, and worth watching just for its images of the jungle..." - 02/17/2016 RogerEbert.com


"EMBRACE digs so deep into the void that it eventually burrows out the other side, reclaiming the wilderness as a reservoir of lost memories." - 02/18/2016 Rolling Stone


"[T]he film’s images linger; especially that of the river, the snake devouring us all." - 03/10/2016 Boston Globe


4 stars out of 5 -- "Playing like a cinematic rendering of Carlos Castaneda’s psychotropic writings coupled with Joseph Conrad’s HEART OF DARKNESS, this artfully rendered black-and-white Oscar nominee dissolves back and forth between two different tales." - 06/02/2016 Empire
