Jauja Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
This fifth feature by the brilliant Argentine filmmaker Lisandro Alonso is his first with professional actors and a period setting, yet it meshes thematically with his other work.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
Alonso sustains an atmosphere of otherworldly immanence in a vivid setting, with a style involving long takes with characters posed as if in tableaux vivants.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
Viewers who can accept a defiantly slow pace, a few loose plot threads and a directorial style that works by intimation, will be rewarded.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
If you applauded the genre-tweaking twists of Gus Van Sant's "Gerry" and Kelly Reichardt's "Meek's Cutoff," you may have a good time (or at least an interesting one) at acclaimed Argentine director Lisandro Alonso's latest puzzler, "Jauja."
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
"Jauja" makes one cryptic leap too many at the end, but until then it evocatively confounds.
Entertainment Weekly
Joe McGovern
Even if director Lisandro Alonso meanders a bit, he pulls a rabbit hole out of his hat in the end ...
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Alonso's audacious leaps of time, his incisive view of the wiles of combat and the rigors of survival, and his ingenious reflection of present-day splendors in past plunder lend the visually sumptuous experience a haunting depth.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
The performances mesh beautifully with the filmmaking, which is more keenly attuned to fluctuations in the natural world that all but a handful of modern motion pictures.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
I never once doubted that I was in the hands of a master filmmaker.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The rounded-off corners of the almost-square frames evoke early movies and antique photographs, and there is wit and mischief in the way Mr. Alonso plays with the relationship between what we see, what we don't see and what we expect to see.
NPR
Tomas Hachard
The film is expansive, pushing the ideas that Alonso has probed in the past further than he has ever taken them.
The Dissolve
Scott Tobias
At its most powerful, Jauja suggests the surreal Western violence of Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian in the way Alonso gradually folds the action into a waking nightmare.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Mortensen injects the director's esoteric, anti-psychological themes with a psychological reality that makes them all the more tantalizing.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
It's a movie designed for maximum intellectual appeal, even if the emotional impact is slight.
New York Daily News
Jordan Hoffman
There's a line between artfully contemplative and just plain boring. This film eventually crosses it into Snoozeville.
Village Voice
Stephanie Zacharek
There's so much to take in here that at times I almost felt as if I were absorbing it through my skin.
The Hollywood Reporter
Deborah Young
An extremely enigmatic work that dangles possible meanings before viewers, who are forced to put their thinking caps on.
Variety
Scott Foundas
Those open to other possibilities in cinematic language may marvel at Alonso's ability to hold a viewer rapt through little more than landscape, movement and sound, and ideas that emerge implicitly rather than being directly stated.
Village Voice
Danny King
Alonso's most narratively knotty film yet ...
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
Revisionist westerns are usually dour affairs, foregrounding guilt over the imperial legacy of runaway expansionism, but Jauja is refreshingly absurdist, consistently including shots for seemingly no reason other than to be dry punchlines.
