Owe gives the character of Horten an off-center dignity that will suggest comparisons to Jacques Tati and Buster Keaton"   Film.com   Jonathan F. Richards 2/6 "A preciously deadpan comedy that never lays claim to its own distinct identity; it’s cinema as a mass-manufactured snow globe."   Time Out New York   Keith Uhlich B+ "Despite one misstep and a telegraphed conclusion, "O'Horten" is an amusing peak into the Norwegian psyche...for a solitary man, Bård Owe makes Horten very good company indeed."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2/4 "Oh, O'Horten, how wincingly affected you are."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager B+ "You invest yourself in the central character and, when the story ends as you hoped with its positive and happy ending, it is with a satisfying sigh of contentment."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 7/10 "A sweet effort in a low budget film, O'Horton is a calm experience into the near-panic of growing old."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson 2.5/4 "Episodic ... (but) reflective of life and the fluidity with which it passes."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 14) of 14 OFCS Rating: 79% Fresh Page   1
