“[Director Jarmusch’s] most mysterious and deeply felt movie, a meditation on death and transfiguration....it unfolds with a slow, laconic, dreamlike logic that achieves a hallucinatory power in its final passages” - Newsweek
“This startling masterpiece is simultaneously a mystical, highly poetic account of dying; an intricate, well-researched appreciation of Native American cultures; a frightening portrait of modern American violence and capitalist greed...a warm, hilarious depiction of cross-cultural friendship; and a hallucinatory trip across the American wilderness.” - Chicago Reader
