'a film that places you in the moment of relaxation, conveys the sense of a cleansing that is both physical and spiritual. Here, you are free to say anything, trivial or significant' (Screendaily)
'a cathartic and lovely experience' (Paste Magazine)
'an unforgettable experience' (POV Magazine)
'a film that weaves a spell' (The Guardian)
'the small, smoky, steamy miracle of this film is how it creates something so intangible, so lyrical, from the absolutely elemental: fire, wood, water and lots of naked female flesh' (Variety)
