"A neglected classic."

—

TV Guide

"Jeanne Dielman is immersion cinema, a brilliant example of maximal minimalism that fuses viewer with subject so profoundly, the marathon experience transcends simple spectatorship."

—

Time Out

"Chantal Akerman's feature is one of the few 'feminist' movies that's as interesting aesthetically as politically."

—

Time Out

"Jeanne Dielman deals in unadorned facts. It's about the looks and sounds of ordinary things and people, which it records with such... unsettling clarity that it has the effect of finding threats in mundane objects and doom in [the] commonplace."
