This is a highly original work that goes beyond its theological aspects to explore more universal questions of mankind and our evanescent place in the world.

The problem with this priest — one of them, anyway — may not be an excess of spiritual fervor but rather a dearth of it, a lack of reverence for the beauty that Pálmason’s camera exalts in every magisterial frame. Lucas may be a blind wretch, but the creation through which he stumbles is a source of never-ending awe.

The film’s very long takes feel extremely rich with meaning and texture even as they often show a whole lot of nothing.
