Gebo and the Shadow Ratings & Reviews
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
De Oliveira concocts striking images in very confined spaces, leaving us with a film that should feel cramped and claustrophobic but instead feels consistently vibrant and alive.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
It may be directed by the world's oldest director, but it's one of Oliveira's most potent and rewarding titles from this late portion of his career, as well as an indication that he's lost none of his talents as one of the world's notable directors.
Film Comment Magazine
R. Emmet Sweeney
'Gebo' is an elemental thudding back to earth, body and soul entombed inside a dimly lit abode.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
An intriguing minor composition by a shrewd and skillful master of the art.
Village Voice
Aaron Cutler
Gebo and the Shadow is a film about concrete, hard, and material things, as well as one about illusions. Its dramatic elements are simple.
The Hollywood Reporter
Neil Young
Old-school charm and expert performances elevate a somewhat creaky theatrical adaptation by the tireless centenarian Manoel de Oliveira.
Variety
Boyd van Hoeij
The devastating yet logical closing scene is delicious in its poetic symmetry and irony.
Slant Magazine
Jesse Cataldo
It defines Manoel de Oliveira's late period, during which his movies have continued to shrink in size and scope while remaining thematically expansive.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
An exquisite yet anguished spectacle, a grand piece of cinematic chamber music for a cast of mighty soloists.
