What Do We See When We Look at the Sky?

There’s a languid kind of magic to Koberidze’s approach, which, with its enchanting score, digressive montages and sparse dialogue, has roots in silent cinema but also feels refreshingly and genuinely original.

This is a film that tries your patience a fair bit, and yet there is something attractive in its kind of innocence.

Infectiously charming and beautifully told.

What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? is a true magic act, intimate and massive at the same time.

The most entrancingly feel-good movie of the year, which urges you tell anyone who'd listen about its wondrous existence so they can bask in its soul-soothing magic too.

A film so soothing to look at that you can almost forgive it for being essentially two hours and 30 minutes of watching grass grow...

What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? could easily have been shorter and still achieved its intended emotional and aesthetic effects. But a river isn’t less pleasant for meandering before it reaches the ocean.

In the end, “What Do We See When We Look at the Sky?” emerges as an effort whose individual elements are truly top notch, but does not make much sense as a whole, particularly after a point. 



A work with crushing honesty, noble, elemental at its core, narrated like a storybook even though it isn't. [Full review in Spanish]
