In the City of Sylvia Ratings & Reviews
Bay Area Reporter
David Lamble
Guerin brilliantly blurs the line between infatuation, voyeurism, stalking and the narcissistic beat of an eternal youth culture.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
Guerin draws the audience in with an intoxicating simplicity, linking together images, sounds, and music that add up to something uniquely magical.
Way Too Indie
C.J. Prince
Guerín's ability to evoke such a subjective experience through uniquely cinematic qualities makes In the City of Sylvia essential viewing.
MUBI
Daniel Kasman
...it is "In the City of Sylvia"'s simplicity that makes it impossible to summarize, jettisoning plot for an enigmatic, open-ended cinematic tone.
Movie Metropolis
Christopher Long
Sylvia is modern myth-making in a quiet register, and it's quite seductive once you give in to its playful rhythms.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's really quite beautiful and playful and mysterious, and in an unconventional way is a love letter to what seems lost but can still be recalled.

Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
What would be a great idea for a 20-minute short may be a disaster as a feature film.
New York Times
Nathan Lee
If nothing else, Mr. Guerin has neatly captured the sweet, erotic alienation of being a single man at his leisure in a foreign town, dazzled by the passing procession of local beauties.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
Pure pleasure and pure cinema.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Would be trying if not for the confidence, grace and subtlety with which Jos Luis Guern handles his deliberately open-ended material.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Guerin conducts with ultimate patience, knowing that his gentle tone will take us along rather than make us impatient.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
This sensualist delight is an immaculate expression of the thrill of the hunt and the cruel damage our hearts of glass incur from an unexpected loss or missed opportunity.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A young man on a mission of love follows the yearning of his heart and savors the many delights of people watching in the city.
Variety
Jonathan Holland
An airy, ultra-Gallic delight whose apparent weightlessness is anchored by real substance.
