Peter Rainer

Troell, at 78, continues to turn out films that will last for as long as there are movies. No wonder he feels such a deep connection to Maria in Everlasting Moments. The film is one hero's salute to another. Read full review

A movie like Everlasting Moments comes along maybe once in a decade. Read full review

Joe Morgenstern

This exquisite film by the Swedish master Jan Troell is about seeing clearly, and fearlessly. It's also about subdued passion, the birth of an artist and a woman's struggle to live her own life. Read full review

Walter Addiego

Artful filmmaking of the old school. Read full review

James Berardinelli

There's something old-fashioned about Everlasting Moments. Although the shots are beautifully composed, they are classically represented. Both the filmmaking methods and the storytelling are uncomplicated. Read full review

Staff (Not credited)

Heiskanen is a revelation as the put-upon wife, and the cinematography (some by Troell) effortlessly transports us back 100 years. Read full review

Ella Taylor

The movie satisfies for an hour, but never quite persuades that its subject is worth two. Read full review

A hauntingly beautiful film, the cinematography is magnificent, the attention to detail is amazing, particularly period detail. Wonderfully acted by all, Maria Heiskanen stands out though. Superb art direction. Jan Troell does an amazing job directing.
