Told almost entirely without words and composed largely of detail shots, this doesn't quite transcend the gimmickry of its concept, but it succeeds as a bravura technical exercise with some truly amazing images. Apr 4, 2019 | Full Review…

It's a novelty, and an educational one at that. It reminds you of just how dumb your average movie is these days. Apr 29, 2005 | Rating: 3/5

So precisely and hypnotically assembled it could have been directed by a particularly whimsical metronome. Jun 18, 2004 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

What film is all about, but all too often isn't -- it challenges its audience to look at the world in a different way. Mar 26, 2004 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

Some of the things encountered in Hukkle are brilliant cinematic conceits, which the director properly builds up to their punchline. Dec 6, 2006 | Full Review…

Sparkling and thought-provoking, Hukkle is the cinematic equivalent of a puzzle box wrapped up in ethnic enigmas and rural riddles. Jul 27, 2005 | Rating: A

The movie is an enriching, lovingly filmed exercise in disorientation, worth seeing more than once if you've got the time, money and patience. Apr 28, 2005 | Rating: 3.5/5

There are so many odd references tucked into "Hukkle" it becomes a complex puzzle masquerading as a simple tale which may require multiple viewings. Jun 1, 2004 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Mostly, this is a film about liquids being poured. Sheer torture.

In the beginning, there was the hiccup... That is a very small disruption to the natural order in "Hukkle" in a small farming village where there is a long standing relationship between the humans who work hard for what they have and the animals which they care for and occasionally become lunch. The largest disruption is also the money shot of the film. Aside from that, the film is pretty much minimalist in observing the day-to-day details except for one sequence that cuts from a man eating to an-x-ray of him to a doctor's office.
A very intriguing and interesting bit of film making. It is a murder mystery but one that is told in an indirect manner and one that involves putting the pieces together through observation of life in a Hungarian village. Very unique.
