10/10
"...a transfixing experience that inspires a kind of solemn awe on an initial viewing, but upon reflection it yields its fair share of humor."  DVDTown.com  Christopher Long

A
"Neglected but critically acclaimed arthouse classic of both feminist and experimental filmmaking."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

"Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles is Chantal Akerman’s 1975 experiment in film form, an astonishing work of subtextual feminism which has to count as one of the seminal films of the 1970s."  Slant Magazine  Eric Henderson

4/4
"maddening, hypnotic, fascinating, mundane, electrifying, mind-numbing, and ultimately shocking"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

2.5/4
"Jeanne Dielman can initially absorb, fascinate but, ultimately, ends up less than the sum of its parts"  Cinema Writer  Jay Antani

5/5
"In Akerman's masterpiece... small gestures take on a visual richness that is also the richness of foiled narrative expectation."  Goatdog's Movies  Michael W. Phillips, Jr.

"... an epic portrait of a quotidian life where every gesture through the 200-minute study becomes important and the slips in routine reverberate like aftershocks of an earthquake."  Seanax.com  Sean Axmaker

10/10
"There are as many ways to understand Jeanne Dielman as there are ways to understand art and life itself... not an easy nor a straightforward movie, and one must meet it at least halfway if not further."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton
