Nostalgia Ratings & Reviews

As is evident after viewing even a single film of his, it's clear that each of Tarkovsky's works has an overarching agenda to them aside from constructed narrative. A direct objective to induce specific (usually melancholy) emotion, enabling it to brew to an uncomfortable degree in the viewer's mind and then seeing how that emotion morphs further interpretation. With 𝘕𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘨𝘩𝘪𝘢, that journey is uncompromising and intensely hypnotic. Probably the most accessible of Tarkovsky's films, 𝘕𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘨𝘩𝘪𝘢 buries you in existential angst and dream-like progression, begging you to let yourself be swallowed into the void that it is desperately trying to kick you into. To be clear, this is its strength. Simultaneously bathing you with beautiful slow zooms, meticulous design and tonal dissonance, this film truly encapsulates the knowledge that the absence of explanation lets your mind wander in the best possible way.

a singular work of cinematic art, one that is all the more meaningful the more you know about Tarkovsky's own ennui
KDHX (St. Louis)
Diane Carson
Characteristic of Tarkovsky, "Nostalghia" is comprised of prolonged takes, an absence of exposition, dreamlike moments, existential dread, autobiographical details, and unusual, but striking compositions.

As the title indicates, Nostalghia is a place of mind rather than a film, a thing of everlasting beauty.
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
Tarkovsky's most emotionally accessible film, and the final no-two-ways-about-it masterpiece of his extraordinary career.
The Retro Set
Nathanael Hood
...the film seems positively out of place compared with the two decades long string of challenging masterworks that preceded it.
LarsenOnFilm
Josh Larsen
...transports us to a place that no longer feels temporal, but spiritual.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
Stick with it. There are shocking acts that rupture the stillness, and then there's one of cinema's great endings, a wrenching, rapturous scene that would set both of those poets into embarrassed rewrites.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Aims for a hushed, hypnotic, incantatory effect, and it does succeed in inducing some kind of trance.
PopMatters
John Oursler
Tarkovsky's hypnotic framing of Gorchakov's experience is made possible through his signature pacing, extended tracking shots, and slow zooms and focusing.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
Tarkovsky is an uncompromising filmmaker... films move slowly, but exercise a fascination unlike anything else I've seen.
The Dissolve
Scott Tobias
Just as Tarkovsky used deep space to explore psychological space in Solaris, here, he's using an estranging, sepia-toned Tuscany to express the dimensions of the soul.
Movie Metropolis
Christopher Long
One of the moistest movies you've ever seen.
Slant Magazine
Kalvin Henely
Perhaps Andrei Tarkovsky's most opaque film, Nostalghia is nonetheless one of his most personal.
TV Guide
Instead of excitement, the feeling one gets after seeing Nostalghia is one of utter relaxation that makes us long for the world we left behind in the theater.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Nothing happens.

The film ends in light, as through the open circular window of a ruined church the sun shines in.
