“Through Joel Edgerton’s subtly tormented performance, Will Patton’s narration, Adolpho Veloso’s rapturous cinematography, and a quavering score by Bryce Dessner, the film draws us into the sad, inexpressible longing for peace and purpose.”
—Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine

“I adored this perfectly formed movie. It elevates Bentley into the league of essential American filmmakers”
—David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter
