Press Quotes
a film that places you in the moment of relaxation, conveys the sense of a cleansing that is both physical and spiritual. Here, you are free to say anything, trivial or significant
Screendaily
a cathartic and lovely experience
Paste Magazine
an unforgettable experience
POV Magazine
a film that weaves a spell
The Guardian
the small, smoky, steamy miracle of this film is how it creates something so intangible, so lyrical, from the absolutely elemental: fire, wood, water and lots of naked female flesh
Variety
a masterpiece
Cinema Femme
