The Man from London Ratings & Reviews
New York Sun
Martin Tsai
Tarr makes it easy for viewers to get lost in his beautifully bleak world and lose track of time, but the subject of guilt that so dominates this film seems relatively minor compared with the director's usual preoccupation with the eclipse of humanity.
World Socialist Web Site
David Walsh
Characters move and talk in slow motion, to no particular effect. If the approach is aimed at getting beneath the surface of reality, it fails.
Film Comment Magazine
Chris Chang
The camera is quintessential Tarr: hovering in anticipation of things that won't happen, tracking like a private eye tailing a perp, and imbuing the black-and-white image with a caustic malaise no other director comes near to achieving.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A unique metaphysical arty film noir.
Boston Phoenix
Peter Keough
In lieu of a story, Tarr evokes the beauty of cinematic form and the exhilaration of simply watching.
New York Times
Nathan Lee
The Man From London, directed by Bela Tarr, is an outrageously stylized, conceptually demanding film.
Village Voice
Ed Gonzalez
Tarr struggles to adapt to an outmoded genre and, in the end, produces his least personal work to date.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
I loved it, but it'll be some weeks before I can make heads or tails of it.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Rumsey Taylor
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.
culturevulture.net
Matt Yeager
The Man From London is the latest example of an utterly distinctive vision, baleful and radiant, as voluptuous as it is bleak.
Slate
Dana Stevens
Feels like no other film that you've seen before. It's cerebral and lugubrious, yet simple as a fairy tale.
About.com
Jurgen Fauth
The Third Man on Ambien -- will dazzle the faithful and bore the stuffing out of everyone else.
Slant Magazine
Kevin B. Lee
Tarr seems to be working in a pan-European purgatory through which his elaborate camera movements are more clinical than communitarian.
Boxoffice Magazine
Barbara Goslawski
Bla Tarr is not at his best in The Man from London.
House Next Door
Keith Uhlich
Moral rot captured with religious fervor.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Despite some breathtakingly haunting long takes and impressively created noir mood, Bela Tarr's movie is flawed; it's overlong, indulgent, and feels unfinished.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
Other than its black-and-white photography, this is a nearly unwatchable movie.
Variety
Derek Elley
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.
