Namrata Joshi The New Indian Express ...a meditative, almost spiritual evocation of the human condition at large... Rated: 4/5 Jul 10, 2024 Full Review Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com The courageousness of “All We Imagine As Light” doesn’t feel like a second film. It already stands as an early majestic masterwork, told with incredible control and uncommon force of will. Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Anupama Chopra Film Companion All We Imagine As Light is a film that reveals its gifts at a measured pace and marinates in your head. The second hour, when the action moves to a village, is less effective but Payal is a formidable filmmaker. I can’t wait to see it again.
