- Big questions are tackled in this little documentary, the same ones that have been danced with for centuries.
- 80Time OutEric HynesTime OutEric HynesWhat elevates The Sky Turns beyond a lovely little elegy and into the realm of greatness is Álvarez's refusal to shape the film as a tragedy.
- 80Village VoiceVillage VoiceNothing speaks more elegantly to the bewilderment of the locals than a long shot of newly built windmills lining a distant hilltop while a villager, made tiny by Álvarez's framing, looks on in the foreground, swallowed up by the forces of history.
- 75New York PostV.A. MusettoNew York PostV.A. MusettoBeautifully composed documentary.
- 60The New York TimesMike HaleThe New York TimesMike HaleThe overall effect is one of lulling beauty and immersion in the landscape and culture - certainly enough to carry you through the film - but also an irritating sensation of being led by the nose through Ms. Álvarez's highly aestheticized ruminations.
