Director Godfrey Reggio reveals humanity's trance-like relationship with technology. When combined with extreme emotional states, this produces massive effects far beyond the human species.

Critics Consensus

While director Godfrey Reggio's filmmaking style has lost some of its initial thrill, Visitors finds him returning to his familiar milieu with customary élan.

Charlotte O'Sullivan

London Evening Standard

The score, by Philip Glass, adds to the off-kilter mood and the faces of a serene gorilla, and a moody child in a playground, prove especially absorbing.

Rated: 3/5

For all its beauty -- and in spite of Glass's majestic music -- the effect is bewildering.

Hyperallergic

These actions have become commonplace, gestures for the office or the subway, but seen on the big screen in Reggio's hypnotic style, we remember just how human they are too.

Ultimately, despite its technical accomplishments, it does not seem to reach the same heights as Reggio's earlier work.

Rated: 3/5

I can't say I was enamored for the entire 87 minutes but it's an experience that has unquestionably expanded my cinematic taste, which is invaluable.

Fabulous experience if you let yourself sink into it. A call to intersubjectivity with our evolutionary cousins and finding a shared space.

So fascinating, your mind works for you. Power of this movie is unique, this is closest to art from all the movies that i watched so far. Reactions are made of mixed emotions,sometimes depending of your mood or influence. Well this eliminate influence of color, speech, attitude of main stars, surrounding, or any emotion manipulated by else. Here you are being with yourself. I'm not the one who can said, but i will let my self do, Glass did fenomenal job, brings primordial, lonely, deep, yet your emotion, so powerful to unfold yourself, and see the depth of your mind. Technology is killing empathy, without it, this film can not reach the depth it should. It is a warning.

Another film in the vein of Koyaanisqatsi, with moody music and interesting photography, this is a fun item to pop in either for close examination or just for some background 'noise', as it can be rather unobtrusive. Rental!

A failed attempt to make an original movie. Visitors is just something you will be disappointed at.

The type of art film one would see at the Hirshhorn only much longer and in the comfort of your own home if you rent it on Netflix like I did. CDW

Beautifully made, but essentially the same thing Reggio's been doing since the 80's.
