Gabriel Tate Daily Telegraph (UK) 03/11/2019
4/5
At once a celebration and elegy, warning and fairy tale, this was a striking, troubling and above all intoxicating film. Go to Full Review
Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 06/22/2018
4/5
There's a maudlin tone here and a tragic sense of loss...that makes it ineffably compelling. Go to Full Review
Adam Lee Davies Little White Lies 06/22/2018
3/5
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. Go to Full Review

After a gentle introduction which could almost begin any straightforward look at the subject, things begin to get a little weird. Go to Full Review
John A. Riley PopMatters 10/31/2018
Arcadia is a frequently fascinating, often unsettling look at traditions and places that can often feel like they are vanishing before our eyes. Go to Full Review
Francesca Angelini Sunday Times (UK) 06/26/2018
2/5
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. Go to Full Review

Bernadette Y 07/20/2024 I tried to delete this but can’t… this was meant for the movie Arcadian. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME,… especially if your watching it on tv, it’s sooo dark, the entire movie, that you just can’t get into it… becomes tedious to try and engage in 👎🏼 and yawn 🥱 See more 12/28/2020 ..and that's why you should never leave London. See more 07/03/2018 Arcadia is a fascinating look at man's relationship with Mother Earth shown using archive footage from around the UK set to a modern score. An intriguing blend of folk horror and documentary combine to create an unusual, almost ethereal, story. Predominantly in black and white, we travel through the last 100 years, focusing on certain areas of the English countryside, in an unflinching journey that highlights our tender, yet often destructive, use of nature whilst showcasing our evolution, for better or worse.   Featuring an original score by Adrian Utley of Portishead and Will Gregory from Goldfrapp, their music beautifully captures a plethora of emotions. Freedom, hope, despair and angst in particular. BAFTA winning Director Paul Wright has brought to the present a superbly crafted film about the future, making full use of our chequered past. Quirky, visceral and compelling, Arcadia is a thought provoking film that challenges attitudes and ideals. See more 06/27/2018 Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi made the same point better, 30 years ago.
