Chicago Reader by Jonathan Rosenbaum
It's Tykwer's most assured picture to date, and like much of Kieslowski's best work it qualifies simultaneously as engrossing narrative and philosophical parable.

This playful video from director and photographer Tracey Moffatt turns the tables on traditional representations of desire to examine the power of the female gaze in the objectification of men’s bodies. Heaven shows footage of brawny surfers changing in and out of bathing suits. Moffatt teases her subjects, who respond with preening and macho reticence.

Washington Post by Desson Thomson
Unusual, unexpected and strangely refreshing. For this movie to have resorted to a familiar action-flick finish with everything explained, pressed and dry-cleaned would have rendered it banal.

Wall Street Journal by Joe Morgenstern
Mr. Tykwer's hands the movie changes almost magically from drama to chase to romance. As it does so its moral weight lessens; by the end there is less than what first engaged the mind. What meets the eye, though, is unforgettable.

Chicago Tribune by Michael Wilmington
The result is both engrossing and moving, a poem about a love that breaks barriers and passes understanding.

Salon by Stephanie Zacharek
Tykwer's actors seem completely clued in to his intentions. Both Blanchett and Ribisi give performances so restrained they're almost subliminal.
