I loved it, but it'll be some weeks before I can make heads or tails of it.

The Man from London, however comprehensible and demystified, is housed in a world of nonetheless pure, enveloping ambiance -- and it is by this measure that its merits are clearest.

The Man From London is the latest example of an utterly distinctive vision, baleful and radiant, as voluptuous as it is bleak.

Feels like no other film that you've seen before. It's cerebral and lugubrious, yet simple as a fairy tale.

The Third Man on Ambien -- will dazzle the faithful and bore the stuffing out of everyone else.

Despite some breathtakingly haunting long takes and impressively created noir mood, this overlong and indulgent film is disappointing, representing a step down for Hungarian art director Bela Tarr.

The Man From London checks in as good but not great Tarr, more on the level of his first mature work, Damnation (1987), than one to sit at the Olympian table of Satan's Tango and Werckmeister Harmonies.

Other than its black-and-white photography, this is a nearly unwatchable movie.
