Aurora Ratings & Reviews
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
It never once feels like a three hour long movie - it simply exists as an unnerving, and wholly lived in, moment in time.
Critic's Notebook
Martin Tsai
It seems that without the sociopolitical baggage, the Romanian new wave can be vacuous and vapid indeed.
Film Comment Magazine
Chris Chang
Everything that takes place feels so deliberately orchestrated that the seeming meaninglessness of certain actions become charged with, er, "meaning."
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's not the most cheerful film, but it's not a dirge.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It's a fascinating, mesmerizing commentary on our thirst for the sensational...
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
It's Puiu's talent to transform it all into a highly disturbing portrait - both of an individual and a society.
Boston Phoenix
Peter Keough
Though it doesn't disclose its secrets easily, Aurora rewards patience with revelation.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
Cristi Puiu's Viorel is about as ambiguous a character as I have ever seen. He does not evoke sympathy since he is a blank, unreadable cipher, but one that fascinates because he is so inscrutable.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
...if Mr. Lazarescu was swallowed up by bureaucracy on his final journey, "Aurora's" protagonist wades through it on his way to deliver death.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
While Aurora is a formal triumph, it's less resonant than either 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days or The Death of Mr. Lazarescu.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Puiu, who also directed, goes too far in making the movie's violent undertone feel like just one more bit of modern malaise.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Aurora fully explores the time before and after a killer strikes, and it has the cumulative effect of making what passes for a "motive" seem absurdly simplistic.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
"Aurora" proves that Puiu is no one-hit wonder.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
A quiet, steady burn filled with stretches of unsettlingly reverberant silence cleaved in half by a midpoint eruption of violence. Here there is before, and then there is after.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
Aurora is not a movie to make you glad that you exist; it's a movie that makes you aware that you do.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
Cristi Puiu deliberately courts a frustrating obscurantism that at times plays like an intriguing mystery and other times just baffles.
House Next Door
Fernando F. Croce
An endurance test that nevertheless invites fascinating contemplation for its darkly comic view of crime (and cinema) as manual labor.
