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.

What are critics saying?

100

Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Sean Axmaker

Aoyama's monochrome images are filled with a simple shadowy beauty and his scenes are rich in tender sensitivity and empathy.

100

Village Voice by Amy Taubin

A film of rare tenderness and mystery.

100

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt

Understated acting and brilliant use of wide-screen black-and-white cinematography.

100

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.

90

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.

90

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas

To watch this film, in short, can be a transforming experience.
