- 83The PlaylistAlly JohnsonThe PlaylistAlly JohnsonLyrical, emotional, and intuitive, but also meandering in its ephemeral flitting from reality to the imaginary world.
- 80Los Angeles TimesMichael OrdoñaLos Angeles TimesMichael OrdoñaCinematically, it draws influence from Terence Malick, but in a good way. It’s atmospheric, but not at the expense of emotion and humor.
- 75RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyRogerEbert.comGlenn KennyThe movie’s imaginative energy is undeniable, and Bodhi himself is a winning screen presence. If Webber sticks to his creative guns, he could well become the John Cassavetes of attentive (albeit eccentric) parenting.
- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreYou have to be in the mood for it, but The Place of No Words is a touching, sweet and intimate fantasy unlike most any film you’ve seen, save for its much more expensive and less moving antecedent, “Where the Wild Things Are.”
- 30The New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe New York TimesBen KenigsbergIt’s sweet, personal and tedious.
