Gavagai Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Gavagai is not just an emotional movie, but a sensual one. Tregenza's lyrical camera movements and the actors' recitations of Vesaas's poetry contribute most plainly to this effect...
n+1
A.S. Hamrah
Tregenza is not sketching the wistful unhappiness of the moneyed creative class so much as staring into the divide between souls.
Gay City News
Steve Erickson
If one wants to see an inheritor to the mantle of Tarkovsky and Bergman, "Gavagai" is essential viewing.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
If language can mislead, Tregenza knows that it is hardly the sole mechanism for human understanding. He has made a film that, in more than one sense, is moving beyond words.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
A challenging but rewarding journey.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A mesmerizing, quietly powerful and provocative emotional journey brimming with warmth, tenderness and breathtaking imagery.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
There are pleasures and intellectual provocations to be had here. But its attempted effects fall flat a little too often.
Film Journal International
Simi Horwitz
Gavagai is not an easy film to watch-its relentless sadness can feel oppressive, but in the end it is oddly life-affirming and well worth the viewing.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Rob Tregenza's film is rooted in the communion as well as the sensorial challenges of savoring art.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
Gavagai offers moments of sublimity unlike anything you'll see in most contemporary movies. It also tests the patience.
Shockya.com
Harvey S. Karten
A delightfully quirky road-and-buddy movie taking place in a remote area of Norway.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
It's an astonishment, realized with a technique and a touch that are unique in the current cinema.
