"Apichatpong long ago announced himself as one of the most important filmmakers working today, but no feature so deftly illustrates his formal command as Uncle Boonmee. Blending a historical remove redolent of Hou Hsiao-hsien with a magic-realist disregard for physics, the film floats through time not so much as an observer but an active participant, giddily disrupting the continuum with puckish insertions like monkey spirits" - Movie Mezzanine
