Critic Reviews

Lael Lowenstein

Tech elements, including music, lensing, costumes and production design are blazingly impressive and strikingly evocative on all levels. Read full review

Richard Corliss

A film worthy of being displayed on a screen eight stories high. Read full review

Peter Stack

The big screen -- with that 3-D depth charge -- captures the strange magic of the "big top" Cirque in visual gulps. Read full review

Stephen Holden

It conveys plenty of wonder while mostly avoiding any saccharine preachiness. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

A hokey, more-than-a-little-annoying mystical journey of self-discovery. Read full review

Howard Cohen

Too bad Journey of Man, as a whole, is never as consistently compelling as that one visually arresting scene (with Yves Décoste and Marie-Laure Mesnage)
