If you are able to slow down to Colossal Youth's deliberate rhythms, there's a strong chance you'll be dragged in by the film's undertow and resurface completely mesmerized. Jan 18, 2008 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Beautifully photographed, the elliptical, often mysterious and wholly beguiling film Colossal Youth looks and sounds as if it were made on another planet. Aug 8, 2007 | Rating: 4.5/5

Eventually, across the monumental boredom, mesmerizing, nearly still images and poetic rhythms of this 155-minute film, something like pathos or meaning can be sensed, if not really apprehended. Aug 2, 2007

Rather than impose actors on the scene, Costa involves the people who already live there. Instead of training them to perform a story, he locates a skeletal narrative from a rehearsal process based on their personal stories. Jul 31, 2007 | Full Review…

There is a strange type of anonymity to this film, as if the personality behind the camera has utterly vanished, allowing what is depicted, to be genuinely seen, not just looked at. Aug 23, 2017 | Full Review…

Costa strikes at the core of what makes these people tick and the tragedy of their being ignored and abandoned by the government and general population. Oct 11, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

If you're not already a fan of Costa by now, joyfully mainlining on his existential aesthetic, you better sidestep this one. Jul 30, 2015 | Full Review…

[VIDEO ESSAY] How human beings learn from history in the face of unending injustice, or retain their dignity when everything is taken from them, are just a couple of the titanic issues Pedro Costa grapples with. Jun 4, 2012 | Rating: A | Full Review…
