  "An intriguingly languorous, visually audacious drama from the Argentine director Lisandro Alonso, is about the existential plight of modern-day Indigenous Americans — people too often trapped in the fictions created by others...[Sadie] LaPointe’s is a beautiful performance."
  Beatrice Loayza, The New York Times

  "[An] occasionally beautiful, occasionally beguiling, and occasionally confounding triptych about the material and political issue of colonialism and the spiritual issue of what is home."

  "There is a sort of sensory perception, a feeling that through drifting downstream along the river course of this film and gazing at the foliage on either bank, some progress of the soul is being achieved. It is an enriching experience."

  "Alonso’s latest is his most ambitious: a tripartite film, Eureka sides not with the white strangers in strange lands that had long peopled Alonso’s oeuvre, but with the native communities facing these invaders."

  "Lushly lensed and intensely cerebral...Though each narrative is carefully blended from one to the next, Eureka EUREKA is best internalized as an immersive exploration of Indigenous identity in response to white supremacist subjugation."

  "Alonso stitches indigenous stories and experiences across centuries and continents to create a mystical mobius strip of a film."

  "Lisandro Alonso’s triptych western is a deliriously intriguing and mind bending cinematic experience...A visually-arresting, melancholic and wondrously metaphorical look at history, violence and colonialism, Alonso confirms him as an authentic Latin American auteur."

  "EUREKA offers a deeply mesmerizing glance into Indigeneity in a post-colonial world...[Alonso] voyages through the limits of space and time to probe the Western forces that have (and continue to) disenfranchise Indigenous communities not only in the Americas but across the globe."

  "EUREKA is three of the year's best movies...[it's] disparate parts end up being so cohesive that they are, paradoxically, difficult to talk about. You could read a straight summary of the film and everything would make sense, but so much of the joy of the film is found in watching things unfold and discovering just how these ideas fade into each other."

  "Lisandro Alonso orchestrates a spellbinding cinematic tapestry in EUREKA, challenging traditional film genres' confines. This ambitious film captures a journey through time and culture, exploring the impact of colonialism on Indigenous populations; with compelling performances by Viggo Mortensen as Murphy and Chiara Mastroianni as Maya el Coronel, the movie maps the intersections of identity and history across continents and eras, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its visually stunning, non-linear narrative."
