### Critical Acclaim
- **Variety** hails it as “a captivating record of an artist in full command of her idiosyncratic powers”.
- **The Hollywood Reporter** calls it “an imaginative stand - alone artwork”.
- **The Guardian** says, “There are not many artists who can combine the lifecycle of a jellyfish with a breakbeat and make it work. But this is an extraordinary piece, perhaps more an opera, where Björk and drummer Manu Delago are at their virtuosic best. It’s utterly bonkers yet moving – especially a strange love song set to a mutating virus. It should be mandatory viewing for anyone about to dam a glacial river to facilitate aluminium smelting.”
- **The Hollywood Reporter** notes, “a dazzling audiovisual spectacle that benefits from the full cinematic treatment... Heavenly constellations billow across dark sections of screen above the stage, sometimes engulfing Björk like she is some kind of gargantuan space goddess... there are some gorgeous emotional depths here too, especially when the swooping harmonies of are given full rein.”
