« Blurring real life with fantasy, Alps successfully captures the ridiculousness of human nature. The film’s subtle and grounded plot effectively manages to lure you under its peculiar spell, without ever relying too much on narrative twists to stoke the dramatic fires. » (CineVue).
« The film takes some deciphering, but once a viewer cracks its code, Alps opens up into something expansive and rich. » (L.A. Times)
« Both a companion piece to and in many ways a reversal of Dogtooth, it builds on that film's surreally terse style and notions of communication and identity without diluting its singularity or concentration. » (Slant Magazine)
