"blends live action and animation to create a surreal hermetic vision that is as beautifully seductive as it is chillingly inaccessible."  Eye for Film  Anton Bitel

C
"The narrative fails to be as colorful as the title."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

"Is 'Piano Tuner of Earthquakes' a tease of an anti-movie or, for most, an exercise in empty technique?"  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Donald J. Levit

"Exquisitely detailed, difficult to grasp hold of, and always obscured by molds and corrosions. The Quay Brothers are distinct oddities in the landscape of contemporary cinema."  Reverse Shot  Leo Goldsmith

3/4
"[The film] combines live action and their trademark animation into a creepy, glittering object whose dreamlike quality are mesmerizing to a particular kind of sensibility."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

3/4
"Snow globe visions and gnarly mouth nightmares swirl together in this darkly lyrical fantasia."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

2/5
"Brilliant in style but empty in substance."  Film Threat  Phil Hall

1.5/5
"It's a surreal experience, maddeningly incomprehensible and dull, but with an evocative beauty."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

5/10
" 'The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes' is a semi-animated, human-acted fantasy that plays sweetly but takes too long to say too little."  Monsters and Critics  Ron Wilkinson

1.5/4
"Beyond that? Not much."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
