Variety
The Aura is far from being simply "Nine Queens2." Leisurely paced, studied, reticent and rural, The Aura is a quieter, richer and better-looking piece that handles its multiple manipulations with the maturity the earlier picture sometimes lacked. - 80
Salon
This is a tremendously atmospheric movie full of moody mystery, and it'll keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. - 80
The New York Times
Mr. Bielinsky, in what would sadly be his last film, demonstrates a mastery of the form that is downright scary. - 75
