Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Jan 1, 2000
3.5/4
[Such a Long Journey] is a film so rich in atmosphere it makes Western films look pale and underpopulated. It combines politics, religion, illness and scheming in the story of one family in upheaval, and is very serious and always amusing. Go to Full Review

3.5/4
Director Sturla Gunnarsson keeps things going at a straightforward pace and easy distance so that we become involved in the day to day life of these characters without being too close or too far away. Go to Full Review

Emily Bobrow Film Journal International Jan 1, 2000
To watch the film is to feel somewhat cheated. Unfortunately, it is clear we are viewing the cut-and-pasted pieces of a larger and presumably more moving whole. Go to Full Review
