Alonso’s first film in nine years offers many of the same sensory pleasures as his finest pictures ‒ but with plenty of narrative twists and turns that often call to mind some films of New Argentine Cinema.

As a work of art, [EUREKA] is a film that demands patience, but for those willing to engage, it will leave a lasting impression.

The sheer physical beauty of this last section compensates for its opacity, as the middle part’s more pointed drama does for its sometime dullness, and the opener’s genre homage is its own reward.

| Oct 4, 2024

Presented with long, static shots and a meditative pace, Eureka demands patience, offering an interplay of feverish dreams and esotericism that contrast with the underlying sadness, depression, and frustration that make everything so human.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 26, 2024

This compelling drama may seem opaque when you first start watching, but stick with it to understand its full purpose.

Argentinian auteur Lisandro Alonso explores the harsh lives and dismal treatment of indigenous people across three timelines and settings in Eureka, a thought-provoking, minimalist triptych fable that defies convention at every turn.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 22, 2024

No part of the film’s message is overbearing; it is all but hidden in the background of ordinary people’s lives, to be absorbed only in the context of their daily existence.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 20, 2024

It's a contemplative piece that moves at a glacial pace to live in its anguished weariness. Alonso and company are simply holding up a mirror onto the burden carried upon the exasperated shoulders of the displaced and marginalized.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 20, 2024

It’s a movie best received in a relaxed frame of mind. Because much of it is a slow burn, if there’s indeed a burn at all.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 20, 2024

Eureka’s pleasures lie in its ambiguities. It is decidedly not for everyone, but Alonso’s devotees, and fans of ‘slow’ cinema, will revel in its patient, mature filmmaking. Drink it in.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 19, 2024

Here, extra-long shots of wild splendor and oblique talk of dreams makes the film go from patient to listless. At this stage, it’s a challenging sit, but perhaps that’s the point considering where we started.

| Sep 19, 2024

Like much of Alonso’s defiantly unconventional and languorous work, Eureka is concerned with identity, colonialism, and the Global South, but this poetic, ruminative triptych is more akin to a vision quest than a righteous political tract.

| Sep 19, 2024

Lushly lensed and intensely cerebral, Lisandro Alonso’s Eureka is on par with the experimental Argentine director’s previous output.

| Original Score: 8.0/10 | Sep 19, 2024

[Part 3] feels merely additional, not additive: a needless elongation of an excellent 83-minute film into a murkier 147-minute one...It’s not a fatal flaw for...a film otherwise this impressive, but the protraction is a frustrating way to see things off.

... A black and white western of conscious artificiality that turns out to be the fiction that the protagonists of the second part see on 온라인카지노추천. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 17, 2024

Perhaps the images of Eureka run aground more than necessary, but when they finally fly, they soar and open up to exciting magic. [Full review in Spanish]

A sublime decolonial triptych with the appearance of a magical fable. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jun 13, 2024

Alonso sets his imagination free with the illustrative bird of his film, with allegories and surrealism. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 20, 2024

A film like few others in our cinema, one that assimilates a lineage and transcends it. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 14, 2024

Alonso has good narrative and visual ideas, as well as a proverbial eye for framing, but Eureka is in several ways a misstep, a film that deflates as it progresses... [Full review in Spanish]
