Reception
Stephen Holden noted the film "rewards concentration once you adjust to its glacial pace and its radically minimalist aesthetic".[6] Michael Atkinson also praised the film, writing it is "so pure, uninflected, and empty of intent that over its length (more than 2.5 hours), it feels like a meditation you had by accident. Finally, a doc that’s an experience, not just an infantilized civics lesson".[7]
