Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Densely layered, demanding and beautiful, Ruiz has found the perfect venue for his passions and created the most cinematically breathtaking film of the new millennium. - 100
Boston Globe
You can count on the fingers of one hand the number of works in any given year to which one is moved to apply the word ''masterpiece.'' Raul Ruiz's Time Regained is one of them. - 100
San Francisco Examiner
Ruiz has made the most ambitious adaptation of a Proust work yet. - 80
Village Voice
The daring of the conception is matched only by the brilliance of the execution. - 80
L.A. Weekly
Comes as close as perhaps any film has gotten to approximating the inner life of an artist. - 75
New York Daily News
A long sit for those unfamiliar with Proust's literary quest and output, but the view is sensational. - 70
Dallas Observer
The film's demands may be too perplexing. - 63
Baltimore Sun
