Los Angeles Times

Jan 25, 2018

Grimly powerful and intersectionally acute, Thomas' serious, haunted period saga is a portrait of colonial rot and patriarchal cruelty as experienced by characters inextricably linked — male and female, free and chained, native and not, even sane and otherwise — in one remote outpost.

Chicago Tribune

Feb 1, 2018

In the end, as proven by that mixed emotional chord, any director this far along in developing an assured visual style truly is a director to watch.

Washington Post

Thomas keeps things at a simmer for the longest time, forestalling the story’s ultimate boil-over until the final minute or so of the tale.

By Michael O'Sullivan FULL REVIEW

Jan 12, 2018

The languidly-paced picture has a staggering array of beautiful images and vistas.

By Glenn Kenny FULL REVIEW

The Hollywood Reporter

Jan 8, 2018

It's a slow-burn drama with a fairly austere attitude toward conventional exposition, dialogue and character development, which will confine it to the commercial margins. But the film is also transfixing in its formal rigor, impressive craft and striking visual beauty.

By David Rooney FULL REVIEW

Jan 8, 2018

When Thomas’ film does find its voice, it is as authentically immersive an experience of a harsh and loveless past as one could hope for, composed of the sensual details that can make the pleasures and horrors of 200 years ago feel like now.

By Jessica Kiang FULL REVIEW

Jan 8, 2018

Daniela Thomas seems stymied by her own images, unable to extract the turmoil and violence suggested by her story for fear of upsetting the austere surface harmony of her visuals.
