What are critics saying?
Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Thai filmmaking continues its renaissance with this moody, offbeat drama.
A rare example of indie filmmaking produced outside the Thai studio system, Blissfully Yours takes the good-humored nonsense of director Apichatpong Weeasethakul's first feature, "Mysterious Object at Noon," several steps further into the realm of non-communicative minimalism.
A moving evocation of longing unfulfilled.
A deadpan, self-consciously prehistoric version of Jean Renoir's rueful idyll A Day in the Country, Blissfully Yours is unconscionably happy.
The New York Times by Manohla Dargis
Marks the emergence of one of the more original and promising new voices to hit the international cinema scene in recent years.
The Hollywood Reporter by Michael Rechtshaffen
After a while, the extremely limited camera movement and languid pacing take an exacting toll, resulting in a viewing experience that is considerably less than idyllic.
