Siberia Reviews
At times, it looks like a very severe version of Fellini or Jodorowsky.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 23, 2021
Siberia is all interior, and the state of Clint (Dafoe) is unclear, the linear trajectory of his life fuzzy beyond recognition.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 25, 2021
Dafoe, a close collaborator with Ferrara, brings the intensity and nakedness (not just physical) necessary for the film's trip.
| Jun 22, 2021
A genuine misfire that is not nearly profound as it wants to be.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 18, 2021
"Siberia" is a Freudian wallow made by a New York street fighter of a Fellini, and it is nothing if not authentic in its stress-fractured machismo.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 17, 2021
Siberia captures precisely what it is that makes Ferrara's films so electrifying: while not always coherent, he is determinedly consistent in his devotion to his core visions, and as hungry as ever to discover new ways to express them.

Abel Ferrara doesn't require traditional dream logic, as his grasp of the nitty-gritty quotidian of longing is inherently uncanny.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 29, 2020
For all of Ferrara's reckless abandon - and Dafoe's unimpeachable commitment to artistic exploration - "Siberia" becomes increasingly unable to instigate our own journeys of the soul; seldom has the collective unconscious felt so inaccessible.
| Original Score: C- | Feb 25, 2020
I didn't understand it or want to be anywhere else.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 25, 2020
A beautiful, unhinged, sometimes hilarious trek into geographical and psychological wilderness that will delight some and mystify many others.

One character recites a speech from 'Thus Spake Zarathustra' by Friedrich Nietzsche, a philosopher famed for the line, "If you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back." Siberia is The Abyss Stares Back: The Movie.

Provocative as always and largely perplexing.
