The Aura Reviews
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
The voyeuristic focus and camera acrobatics may remind you of Hitchcock, but The Aura is also highly original.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Wiegand
In the end, the film's bigger challenge isn't its length, or its deliberate pace: It's that it's overly freighted with symbolism and meaning.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The Aura is richer and less showy than Nine Queens, and it lifts off from the gangster genre to contemplate deeper mysteries. Reminiscent of Antonioni's The Passenger in its obsession with fate and choice.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
The heart-attack death last year of Fabiàn Bielinsky ... makes the posthumous release of The Aura, his mysterious drama about an Argentinean epileptic taxidermist caught up in a vivid crime, that much more poignant.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A top-notch heist thriller set in Patagonian forests and southern Argentine cities, a film full of dark, moody atmosphere and richly imagined, indelibly etched characters.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
... sublime psychological thriller ...
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Stamets
Argentinian writer/ director Fabian Bielinksy (Nine Queens) creates a character with an intriguing set of traits that inspire an equally intriguing plot.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
A hypnotic journey into the head of an epileptic taxidermist with a photographic memory.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
... a tightly constructed thriller ...
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The world of The Aura is, quite obviously, a heightened and stylized version of reality, but its governing emotions of dread, suspicion and moral confusion are bracingly real.
AV Club
Noel Murray
The Aura holds together as a dreamy variation on Reservoir Dogs' heist-gone-wrong fatalism and the know-thyself confrontations of David Mamet's Homicide.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
With The Aura, Fabián Bielinsky replaces Nine Queens' flashy Mamet-esque posturing with downbeat Melville/Antonioni noir existentialism.
Austin Chronicle
Marrit Ingman
Visually, the film is almost perfect, with a weird, expressionistic sensibility considerably more sophisticated than the low-fi street shooting of Nine Queens, while the imaginative piano score trickles between pastoral harmony and primal discord.
Film Comment Magazine
Geoffrey O'Brien
If less neatly realized than Nine Queens, The Aura is the more ambitious film. It is all the more haunting for suggesting narrative possibilities that Bielinsky was just beginning to explore.
Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
Bielinsky also is a most expressive director, achieving considerable nuances and depths of emotion with characters' looks, gestures, body language and silences.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The moody ambience suggests noir writers David Goodis and Jim Thompson...
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
[The Aura] might be the most original new thriller I've seen since Memento.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
Tense and twisty, this is what thrillers should be about.

Beth Accomando
I have to admit I was more than intrigued by a film featuring an epileptic taxidermist with a photographic memory who fancies that he can commit the perfect crime.
