"A deeply sincere, elliptical movie about being and nature, men and women, self and other."
- Manohla Dargis, New York Times
"'Upstream Color’ is a stimulating and hypnotic piece of experimental filmmaking."
- Justin Chang, Variety
"Heart-stoppingly beautiful, quite literally overwhelming."
- Sam Adams, AV Club
A man and woman are drawn together, entangled in the lifecycle of an ageless organism. Identity becomes an illusion as they struggle to assemble the loose fragments of wrecked lives.
