Tikkun Ratings & Reviews
MUBI
Elissa Suh
Tikkun is the more spiritual kind. The film's austere and provocative look contrasts with the dramatic excitement absent from the film's story-Tikkun's conflict concerns the soul-and compensates at times for its ponderous pacing.
Movie Mezzanine
Vikram Murthi
Sivan neatly captures the meditative rhythms of an existential crisis, how the contours of one's own life feel fragile while every new experience takes on an exciting, frightening dimension.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
"Tikkun" takes you inside the cloistered world of ultra-Orthodox Jews, then burrows even further into the head of one young man and his peculiar crisis of spirit and body.
SF Weekly
Sherilyn Connelly
While resonant of past survivor stories like Crash and Fearless, to compare Tikkun to other films is not to take away from its own haunting, unnerving brilliance.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
It's a testament to Traitel's performance that he makes such a vivid impression, because the script offers the actors little in the way of character development.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The puzzling tale about resurrection that brings on controversy to those of the Orthodox Jewish faith, has its chilling surreal moments.

Nora Lee Mandel
Prime reason to see artsy film is the B & W cinematography --slow, dark, ponderous, and beautiful looking with weird, mystical imagery (& long close-up of female genitalia).

Alissa Wilkinson
Transgressive, button-pushing cinema works best when it's in service of the whole, and "Tikkun" juxtaposes shock with long stillness, a long day's circuitous journey into eternal night.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Haim-Aharon's predicament threatens to become preposterous rather than haunting, but there is no denying the film's uncanny power or its visual discipline.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Impressively imaginative and stylish enough to mark its writer/director as a talent to watch.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Traitel, a first-time actor whose own background seems all too eerily apt for this character, is riveting in a demanding role with little dialogue or psychological explication to lean on.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Devin Faraci
One of the most strikingly weird movies I have seen this year. The movie's examination of the life of the ultra-Orthodox Jews is fascinating and Sivan's actors - who simply can't really be Orthodox, can they? - are utterly convincing in all moments.

Is Haim-Aaron on a vision quest? Is it purgatory? Is it condemning Haim-Aaron or condemning the judgments laid upon him? It's art, man, but it's good art. Read more at

Go for the glorious black and white cinematography - blessed is he who shoots in b&w in the 21st century century. I am sure that is in the Torah somewhere.
Brooklyn Magazine
Forrest Cardamenis
The underlying assumption of this style is that the world is a cruel and Godless place, one where observation is possible but intervention is not.
Village Voice
Diana Clarke
Shot like a photo album, gorgeous frame after gorgeous frame, it continually suggests that crisis and struggle can be beautiful when viewed from the right angle.
Film Comment Magazine
Steven Mears
With startling high-def black-and-white photography by Shai Goldman, the film draws on Dreyer's Ordet and Aronofsky's π in a portrayal of spiritual fallout with horror elements.
