What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? Reviews

On the surface, it seems somewhat impenetrable but its human quality makes it captivating and capable of staying with you for a long time. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 30, 2024

What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? is a journey of love and metamorphosis that is unique because of its focus on everyone but its main characters.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 25, 2024

What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? could easily have been shorter and still achieved its intended emotional and aesthetic effects. But a river isn’t less pleasant for meandering before it reaches the ocean.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 29, 2022

There’s a languid kind of magic to Koberidze’s approach, which, with its enchanting score, digressive montages and sparse dialogue, has roots in silent cinema but also feels refreshingly and genuinely original.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 27, 2022

This is a film that tries your patience a fair bit, and yet there is something attractive in its kind of innocence.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 23, 2022

Infectiously charming and beautifully told.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 22, 2022

In the end, “What Do We See When We Look at the Sky?” emerges as an effort whose individual elements are truly top notch, but does not make much sense as a whole, particularly after a point.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Jul 24, 2022

A work with crushing honesty, noble, elemental at its core, narrated like a storybook even though it isn't. [Full review in Spanish]

In the urban law of absurdity, trivial encounters end up being lessons. Fleeting and fortitions moments can transform a day and sometimes a life.

| Jun 14, 2022

Using magical realism and never taking the expected approach, Georgian director Alexandre Koberidze asks viewers to take more notice of the world around them.

| Jan 22, 2022

What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? is a true magic act, intimate and massive at the same time.

| Jan 20, 2022

Confirms Alexandre Koberidze as one of the key directors of new European cinema. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 18, 2022

A supernatural-themed romantic comedy with some lovely moments which captures this languid sense of community and local character.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 18, 2022

One of recent cinema's most welcoming works. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jan 5, 2022

A playful and uncategorizable film. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jan 3, 2022

So wholly it's own thing that it's nigh on impossible not to be charmed by it's almost childlike wonder at the simple beauty that surrounds us, even in the darkest times.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 29, 2021

The most entrancingly feel-good movie of the year, which urges you tell anyone who'd listen about its wondrous existence so they can bask in its soul-soothing magic too.

| Nov 26, 2021

A film so soothing to look at that you can almost forgive it for being essentially two hours and 30 minutes of watching grass grow...

| Nov 24, 2021

A tedious, dull and pretentious slog.

| Original Score: 3.64/10 | Nov 22, 2021

Koberidze's film is my idea of why cinema exists.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Nov 19, 2021
