Naqoyqatsi Ratings & Reviews
Dallas Morning News
Matt Weitz
If you open yourself up to Mr. Reggio's theory of this imagery as the movie's set ... it can impart an almost visceral sense of dislocation and change.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
If the message seems more facile than the earlier films, the images have such a terrible beauty you may not care.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
The lightest of sensory candy.
San Francisco Chronicle
Octavio Roca
The sound of Ma's cello alone is reason not to miss Naqoyqatsi.
Denver Rocky Mountain News
Robert Denerstein
At its best, Naqoyqatsi awakens the eyes, but it doesn't really do much to tweak the conscience. It's difficult to feel a sense of outrage while you're in a trance.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
This is a film living far too much in its own head.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Reggio and Glass so rhapsodize cynicism, with repetition and languorous slo-mo sequences, that Glass's dirgelike score becomes a fang-baring lullaby.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
I have problems with Naqoyqatsi as a film, but as a music video it's rather remarkable.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
If you're open to the film, it will leave you pondering human fate and asking unanswerable questions.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Who needs mind-bending drugs when they can see this, the final part of the 'qatsi' trilogy, directed by Godfrey Reggio, with music by Philip Glass?
Chicago Tribune
Patrick Z. McGavin
A disturbing and frighteningly evocative assembly of imagery and hypnotic music composed by Philip Glass.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Reggio and Glass put on an intoxicating show.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Filmmaking at its purest and most visceral.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Pretentious, ponderous and redundant."
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Reggio's trippy, ambitious downer can also sometimes come across like nothing more than a glorified Nike ad.
Village Voice
Laura Sinagra
The whole thing plays like a tired Tyco ad.
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
Twenty years later, Reggio still knows how to make a point with poetic imagery, but his ability to startle has been stifled by the very prevalence of the fast-forward technology that he so stringently takes to task.
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
Can be viewed as pure composition and form -- film as music
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Jeff Vice
Like its two predecessors, 1983's Koyaanisqatsi and 1988's Powaqqatsi, the cinematic collage Naqoyqatsi could be the most navel-gazing film ever.
Salt Lake Tribune
Sean P. Means
The saturation bombing of Reggio's images and Glass' evocative music ... ultimately leaves viewers with the task of divining meaning.
