IMDb

5766 “At such moments, the film's trump cards — Tom Bijnen's sound design and the score chiefly composed by Rutger Zuydervelt — are played to particularly atmospheric effect. With so many current documentaries spoiled by excessively conventional and heavy-handed musical accompaniment, it's a pleasure to encounter soundscapes as sparing and subtle as these. Indeed, so subliminally is Zuydervelt's work incorporated that at first it may not even be recognized as music at all. The ear then picks up on the rhythms of quasi-choral soughing, which seems to emanate from the soil and trees themselves like a phantom voice from the icy breeze.” 

The Red Soul-The Hollywood Reporter

"En ook de beelden die Janga opdient blijven intrigeren, zeker in combinatie met de muziek en het uitmuntende sound design: zijn Curaçao is ruig en stoffig, een western-achtig landschap waar de wind hol overheen blaast. Hij geeft een kerkhof naast een bonkende fabriek een bijna surrealistische schoonheid."
