Eureka, a migratory bird, flies across the American continent and through time. Her travels explore the indigenous experience in three different stories: a man trying to rescue his kidnapped daughter, a Native American cop working on a South Dakotan reservation, and life in the Brazilian jungle in the 1970s.

Village Voice by Amy Taubin
A film of rare tenderness and mystery.
Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Understated acting and brilliant use of wide-screen black-and-white cinematography.
Mr. Showbiz by Michael Atkinson
One of the year's best films, and certainly its most challenging so far: At more than three hours, watching it is less like consuming entertainment and more like living.
Variety by David Rooney
Builds steadily through a series of masterfully orchestrated modulations to a final act without shattering revelations or lofty dramatic peaks but with a quiet, formidable power.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
To watch this film, in short, can be a transforming experience.
