“We were all stunned, overwhelmed, by this film, a major film in the history of cinema from here on out. Something incredible happened at this festival: to have seen and rewarded a film that will enter the heritage of world cinema.”
Catherine Breillat, filmmaker and President of the Locarno Jury

“A ravishing and masterful vision between horror and melodrama, spirituality and desperation that blew the jury all away.” Chicago International Film Festival Jury

“Looks and feels like nothing else ever made.”
David Jenkins, Little White Lies - 100 Best Films of the Decade

“A strange mix of the real and the surreal… like something out of David Lynch. [...] A mesmerising experience... a really interesting and important film.”
Mark Kermode, Film Review, BBC Radio 5 Live

“A strange and beautiful film from Pedro Costa. [...}
Costa remains a master of digital chiaroscuro, of political ghost stories - and of the lives other films leave outside the frame.” Danny Leigh, Financial Times

“If there is a cinema of the dispossessed, then its hero has to be the Portuguese filmmaker Pedro Costa. His static, austere and often dreamlike movies – unfolding in a mysterious, forbidding semi-darkness – are about marginalised souls [...] There is an immersive deep-seriousness in Costa’s otherworldly artistry.”
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian - 'Film of the Week'

“The latest work by one of our planet’s two or three greatest living filmmakers, Pedro Costa... a plaintive and piercingly beautiful vision from a dimension that is far removed from the world of contemporary cinema.”
Christopher Small, Sight & Sound online

“Pedro Costa returns with the masterful Vitalina Varela - story of mourning and rebirth, a return to old haunts, and quite possibly the most beautiful film of 2020”
Jordan Cronk, Film Comment

“The grief of the present and the ghosts of the past mingle together in Costa’s ravishing chiaroscuro compositions, a film of shadow and whisper that might be the director’s most visually extraordinary work.”
Dennis Lim, New York Film Festival 2019
