"A fascinating walk through a mysterious land." THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"The Cannes Directors’ Fortnight has unearthed an absolute gem this year. Andreas Horvath’s Lillian is a road movie across America, which serves up a history lesson on Native Americans, a state-of-the-nation assessment on rural living and an otherworldly thriller with an environmental undertone." CINEUROPA
"It is the kind of film that slips under the skin.(...) The film is impressively shot by Horvath himself and has moments of imposing beauty." SCREEN -
