A.O. Scott
The New York Times
The charm of The Strange Case of Angelica lies in the way it balances this mysticism with a thoroughly secular sense of the business of everyday life. Full Review

Time Out New York
Its stunningly composed images showing how Isaac is himself something of a ghost-given to staring off into the distance, being condescended to by those around him, a man perpetually outside the times. What he needs is to take that one extra step toward his spectral siren; the scene in which he does so might be one of the most exhilarating visions of death's sweet embrace ever filmed. Full Review

Village Voice
de Oliveira's film is a musical of a sort, its quietude occasionally lifted by work songs or chorales. Full Review

The Onion A.V. Club
Too shaggy at times, with digressions into science and history that come out flat and awkward. But there's a sweet, unshakeable poetry in the main idea of the film. Full Review
Walter Addiego
San Francisco Chronicle
A captivating mix of formality, ambiguity and offbeat humor. On the surface a simple fable, it's actually much more. Full Review
