  • "Flashbacks, historical footage, and original poetry illustrate the reminiscences of a dying man about his childhood during World War II."
  • "Tarkovsky's looking glass is not merely cracked but shattered and we see the jagged, jumbled reflections of its shards, images of Tarkovsky's childhood mixed with fragments of his adult life--a child's wartime exile, a mother's experience with political terror, the breakup of a marriage, life in a country home--all intermingled with slow-motion dream sequences and poetic chunks of stark newsreels."
  • "This is Tarkovsky's most autobiographical work in which he reflects upon his own childhood and the destiny of the Russian people. The film's many layers intertwine real life and family relationships with memories of childhood, dreams and nightmares."
  • "In this biographical film, Tarkovskiʹi reflects on three generations of his family and presents memories and fantasies of his private and public life in the form of a visual poem."
  • "Een man overdenkt tijdens een zware zenuwinzinking zijn leven door middel van herinneringen aan zijn jeugd."
  • "Mixes apparently personal anecdotes--a child's wartime exile, a mother's experience of political terror, a divorcing couple's quarrel, with slow motion dream sequences and poetic chunks of stark newsreels (the bombing of Barcelona, the Chinese cultural revolution, a boy cured of his stutter through hypnosis)."
  • "The film is autobiographical. A mirror is help up to the destiny of the Russian people."

  • "Alexei, père d'un garcon de douze ans, songe à se séparer de sa femme Natalia. Les discussions qu'il a avec elle et les observations qu'il fait sur le comportement de son jeune fils l'entraînent en une réminiscence de sa propre enfance dans une région campagnarde."
