Critic Reviews of "Stairway to Heaven (A Matter of Life and Death)"
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000What today's audiences will find amazing is the sheer energy of its invention.
Monthly Film BulletinFebruary 16, 2016In short, a brilliant experiment which will probably be enjoyed by many and appreciated only by a few.
Movie DearestMay 03, 2014Beautifully directed, designed (especially the massive, working escalator that links Heaven and Earth), photographed and acted, it is a must-see for both classic and contemporary film buffs.
Sarasota Herald-TribuneNovember 08, 2010Although it's undeniably a great-looking film, I just found A Matter of Life and Death to be too harebrained to take seriously as a piece of important cinema.
