BBCJamie Russell
By turns funny, sad and romantic, it's a work that confirms Ray's formidable reputation as a world film maker of the highest order. Read full review

Chicago ReaderBen Sachs
To explain why Days and Nights in the Forest (1970) is a masterpiece is a bit like explaining why flowers are beautiful: the film’s glories are so natural and self-evident that describing them feels redundant. Read full review

The GuardianPeter Bradshaw
Ray's language of cinema is a kind of miraculous vernacular, all his own. It has mystery, eroticism and delight. Read full review

The Observer (UK)Philip French
It brings to mind Chekhov, Jean Renoir and Love's Labour's Lost and is quite exquisite. [28 Jul 2002, p.9]

Village VoiceWilliam Paul
Whatever virtues Ray's defenders may claim for him, I find it difficult to get very far beyond the sylistic mess of this film. Ray's style ranges from half-baked artsiness to total artlessness without managing to find any real art in the transitions. [12 Apr 1973, p.91]
