Entertainment Weekly
For the love of all things sensual and mysterious, see this one on a big screen. - 80
Village Voice
Wittily, earnestly, gorgeously sets up the paradox he has returned to throughout his career--that of romantic memory as both scourge and succor. - 80
Los Angeles Times
"Ashes" is glorious and ultimately wrenching, but it's a tough journey. - 80
Washington Post
Deliriously beautiful movie. - 75
The A.V. Club
Yet for all Ashes' frustrations, it's still a gorgeous piece of filmmaking. - 75
New York Post
The film has all the visual flourishes we expect of Doyle and Wong, and they're reason enough to see Ashes of Time Redux. Just don't expect to make sense of the plot. - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
Elliptical, sweeping, lovely and thoroughly confusing. - 60
New York Daily News
