Atlantis Reviews
Slant Magazine
David Robb
The film's use of scale to drive home the absurdity of its characters' actions sometimes calls to mind Werner Herzog's tragicomic existentialism, as well as early silent cinema.
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
An extremely well-made film that contains some truly extraordinary imagery.
Austin Chronicle
Jenny Nulf
Atlantis isn't an easy film to watch, and it's not meant to be. It's an anti-war film without solutions, but what it clear is that Vasyanovych believes in humanity rebuilding from tragedy.
The Lens
Andrew Wyatt
For viewers willing to submit themselves to its somber, unhurried style, Vasyanovych's feature reveals a cruel, formidable vision.
Always Good Movies
Filipe Freitas
Atlantis is a rough film to sit through, but those who really pay attention to its existentialist musings will be rewarded.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's a terse historical film that's both gripping and terrifying.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
What exists in this visualized afterward may not look like anything, but that's why we're fortunate to have artists like Vasyanovych to show us what's dazzling, strange, tragic, comic, touching and eventually optimistic about the way forward.
Hollywood Reporter
Deborah Young
[A] dark yet humanly luminous story.
The Nation
Stuart Klawans
This is male cinema, in capital letters-but as written, directed, photographed, and edited by Valentyn Vasyanovych, it's also real cinema, made by an artist who has thought about why and how he's showing whatever you see.
Chicago Reader
Kathleen Sachs
Naturally the film has emerged as one to watch during the present-day turbulence; such timeliness is eclipsed only by its visual splendor, further reflecting the ability of art to transmit by way of form in addition to content.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Mr. Vasyanovych's approach is literally and figuratively visionary. One aspect of the vision is its treatment of machinery.
L.A. Weekly
Asher Luberto
Dazzling and chilling, Vasyanovych's film follows the consequences of war to their cold, bitter ends.
It's Just Movies
Ron Wilkinson
An artillery shell of an antiwar movie and a vibrant cautionary tale about the military-industrial complex born anew.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
Vasyanovych and his actors manage to make this parable both heartening and stupefying.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
This is a strong piece of poetically pure art-house cinema that finally offers a ray of hope for humanity's future - not just the Ukraine's, as this largely depoliticized statement is one of universal relevance.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Christy Lemire
It is viscerally bleak and very slow. I can't say that I enjoyed it, but I really admire the artistry behind it and I admire the intent.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Angie Han
What eventually emerges is a devastating look at this country that has won a war, but lost so much of what they were fighting for.
KDHX (St. Louis)
Diane Carson
The opening and closing scenes provide arresting, profound infrared imagery. Between these bookends, events unfold in lengthy takes through long and extreme long shots, inviting viewers' patience and careful observation.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Anna Smith
Tonally, there are shades of Werner Herzog. But Vasyanovych's tone is distinct; not to mention timely. The crisis he depicts can be as dull as it is dramatic, making Atlantis an eerily topical watch.
Film Occasionally
Michael Nordine
Makes a habit of providing just enough detail to pique our interest and ensure that we're giving the film our undivided attention.
