Critic Reviews for Arcadia
All Critics (10) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (1)
After a gentle introduction which could almost begin any straightforward look at the subject, things begin to get a little weird.
It makes for pretty tedious watching, though the harsher side of our treatment of animals and an eerie score from Adrian Utley (Portishead) and Will Gregory (Goldfrapp) give it an edge.
While it's charged and witty, its messages are all over the place.
There's a maudlin tone here and a tragic sense of loss...that makes it ineffably compelling.
Arcadia layers its tumbling images to form a portrait of an idiosyncratic nation that hasn't so much lost its way, but rather fallen out of love with itself.
Where it really scores is in Wright's instinctive, somewhat Lynchian feel for the unexpectedly disturbing quality that seemingly benign images of soil or folk costumes take on when they are slowed down or magnified.
