Noi the Albino(Nói albínói)

Chicago Reader by

Kari combines Kaurismaki's deadpan minimalism and Truffaut's sensitivity toward adolescent yearning with a hefty dose of gallows humor, and tops it all off with an apocalyptic ending.

The New York Times by Dana Stevens

After a while the movie spins its wheels, unable to find much emotional traction in the icy bleakness.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt

Quirky, heartfelt acting makes this a superior entry in the perennial teenage-misfit genre.

Variety by Deborah Young

An inspired mix of realism, humor and metaphor.

Village Voice by Dennis Lim

A lightly comic slacker drama that takes the desperation of teenage tedium seriously.

New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman

The laconic Lemarquis does a solid job carrying off Kári's dryly mordant wit, making this eccentric story well worth watching.

The Hollywood Reporter by Michael Rechtshaffen

A playfully quirky and, ultimately, unexpectedly affecting portrait of a 17-year-old slacker.

Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman

Paced a bit too glacially for my taste, yet it's worth sitting through for its trick ending, a twist of events as ominous as the landscape.

Film Threat by Rich Cline

Performances are spot-on from the entire cast; each memorable character is finely detailed and full of eccentricities that are beautifully underplayed.

New York Post by V.A. Musetto

Kari successfully meshes comedy, ennui and tragedy, much in the manner of Jim Jarmusch and Finnish auteur Aki Kaurismaki.
