The Cathedral Reviews
High on Films
Shikhar Verma
D'Ambrose's film creates a snapshot that feels almost Bressonian. And yet, truly unique on its own.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The intriguing domestic drama views things as if the subject is turning the pages of a family album.
The Film Stage
Jordan Raup
The Cathedral is perhaps more substantial in retrospect, where ultimately defining memories of this experience are inconsequential in the moment and the film leaves marks that might only protrude as time marches forward and youth is a distant past.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
The Cathedral is a deeply humanist film, but its also a relentlessly bleak exorcism of a familys intolerances.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
D'Ambrose clearly has a confident, fascinating voice as a filmmaker, making a family drama that plays out almost like a memory.
The Spool
Gena Radcliffe
The Cathedral is fascinating to look at, but oddly chilly and detached.
Always Good Movies
Filipe Freitas
It's just almost pathologically elementary, floating with nostalgia and a few painful moments that could go even further in its narrative purpose.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Part of the pleasure of "The Cathedral" is how D'Ambrose plays with - and gently destabilizes - narrative conventions by drawing from different realist traditions.
AIPT
Nathaniel Muir
Coming of age story presented in an interesting way. The storytelling is creative, but takes away the emotion at times. Beautifully shot.
Thrillist
Dan Jackson
The Cathedral builds to a quietly devastating ending, one that rejects the tidy catharsis of so many coming-of-age tales for a more measured reckoning with the past.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
Juxtaposes remembered interactions and still-life shots with a deliberate, elliptical precision, the minor-key notes building to a chord that resounds with the ache of lost time and unexpressed emotions.
Artforum
Amy Taubin
I hate to label The Cathedral an experimental film (not exactly a lure for distributors), but that is the genre from which D'Ambrose has produced a hybrid unlike any other.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
The feeling that you're flipping through a family album sitting next to someone who lived through it as well, but perhaps with a different perspective comes across acutely.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
The Cathedral marries form to content in a striking way.
615 Film
Cory Woodroof
If you're want to watch one of those "this is why I make movies; look at my parents," things without really having to suss through knowing way too much about the filmmaker going in, this is your best bet.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
The Cathedral is a quietly stunning jewel box of a film, filled with images that together form the captured memories of the main character, Jesse (played by various actors through his childhood and youth).
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Todd McCarthy
D'Ambrose has the technique and narrative instincts down; presumably next time we'll see what else he has on his mind.
In Review Online
Daniel Gorman
D'Ambrose is one of our few young, contemporary filmmakers really thinking about how to sequence shots and confer meaning through images.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
A fervent memory piece, filled with haunting images of Jesse's visions. Amazingly, these scenes don't have the subjective feel of point-of-view shots; rather, they render memory as fact and present inner experience as an objective reality.
The CriterionCast
Joshua Brunsting
Something of an elevated photobook of sorts, DAmbroses second feature is a deft, deeply felt family study that feels as personal as it does dream-like.
