" This film marks a new rhetoric of camera movement and montage. The protagonist, like the spectator, is a voyeur, and his possible suicide is the result of his incapacity to share in a child‚' s untutored perception.‚" - P. Adams Sitney
" This film splendidly develops the main traits of Brakhage‚' s films: no hero, visual sensuality, fluidity of movement and montage, a passion for color.‚" - Dominique Noguez
