Running over 3 hours is About Dry Grasses just a pretentious, too-long, art-house movie, or a masterpiece? A lot of critics are leaning towards the latter.
"One of the best movies of this or any other year."- Bilge Ebiri New York, Magazine/Vulture
"There isn’t a boring frame in the film." - Josh Larsen, LarsenOnFilm
"It would be a waste to see About Dry Grasses anywhere other than on the largest screen, in the darkest cinema. It not only repays the time, it makes a change of pace nothing less than a moral recalibration." - David Sexton, New Statesman
