In Jonathan Nossiter's SIGNS AND WONDERS, a happily married couple begin to grow apart after 17 years of marriage.

Abtruse, delicately constructed and thoughtful... an arty Euro-flick with an almost entirely emotional mystery and pay-off.

Feels like a film that could have been shot by Nicolas Roeg.

Nossiter deserves kudos for being willing to tell stories about characters that aren’t twentysomething hard bodies, but rather mature adults.

Rampling, to her credit, helps hold the nuthouse together.

There's a potentially good film struggling to get out of an overly self-conscious director's grip here.

Signs takes us into Alec's confused head, and, although it can be disturbing there, it's never dull.

Until it devolves into what seems like a quasi-surreal Fatal Attraction ... offers a stark, spooky portrait of family fracture and loss.

Has extraordinary depth and insight about the limitations and follies of human beings.

For all its ambition and richness of style, Signs & Wonders never shows us what's inside Alec.

I hate to drag out that word again, but it's seriously needed here: pretentious.
