 ""Cremaster 3" requires repeat viewings or fungal accompaniment of a magical
nature, yet the film is completely mesmerizing."
-- Laura Clifford, REELING REVIEWS
"This epic film, eschewing dialogue and conventional narrative logic, tells a gripping tale of biological drama through a highly improbable series of evocative images, superb acting and editing, and haunting music."
-- David Finkelstein, FILM THREAT
"Matthew Barney's five-part, out-of-sequence Cremaster Cycle culminates with Cremaster 3, his most accomplished work to date."
-- Ed Gonzalez, SLANT MAGAZINE
"Cremaster 3 is at once a tough pill to swallow and a minor miracle of self-expression."
-- Jeremy Heilman, MOVIEMARTYR.COM
"Awesome work: ineffable, elusive, yet inexplicably powerful"
-- Gary Mairs, CULTUREVULTURE.NET
"If it sounds like too much, it is. But in Barney's world, more is always better, and getting to wherever it is he's going is an insanely beautiful trip."
-- E! ONLINE

Avg. Rating: 6.1/10 |
 "Viewers of Barney's crushingly self-indulgent spectacle will see nothing in it to match the ordeal of sitting through it."
-- Kenneth Baker, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"The filmmaker ascends, literally, to the Olympus of the art world, but he would have done well to end this flawed, dazzling series with the raising of something other than his own cremaster."
-- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"The hypnotic imagery and fragmentary tale explore the connections between place and personal identity."
-- John Habich, MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE
"It offers little beyond the momentary joys of pretty and weightless intellectual entertainment."
-- Ed Halter, VILLAGE VOICE
"Exudes the fizz of a Busby Berkeley musical and the visceral excitement of a sports extravaganza."
-- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES
"There's no denying the elaborateness of the artist's conceptions, nor his ability to depict them with outrageous elan, but really the whole series is so much pretentious nonsense, lavishly praised by those who equate obscurity with profundity."
-- Frank Scheck, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"Not since Ghostbusters has a film used Manhattan's architecture in such a gloriously goofy way."
-- Christine Temin, BOSTON GLOBE
"Barney has created a tour de force that is weird, wacky and wonderful."
-- Megan Turner, NEW YORK POST

-- Robert K. Elder, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
