Little White Lies
not just some mad collection of pretty pictures, but a poetic and ethnographic evocation of Armenian religion, culture and society, told through the prism of the nation's most celebrated troubadour and his songs.

AV Club
Paradjanov scares up one startling sequence after another, crafting a bizarre mosaic of Nova's world while limiting himself to the materials of the poet's time.
L.A. Weekly

TV Guide's Movie Guide
Well worth seeing, if only as a visual treat.
