[testimonial company="OFF WORLD" author="Dennis Harvey – Variety"]
Francois Dagenais' gorgeous (if almost too dark) lensing of sometimes spectacularly inhumane residential locations.

carefully composed shots

Off World is often visually mesmerizing

[testimonial company="GUY X" author="Joe Utichi – Film Focus"]
Every frame bathes in beauty, thanks in no small part to cinematographer François Dagenais's exquisite attention to detail. The arctic location in the film is both suitably desolate and engagingly attractive and the film's oddly monotone colour palette suits it perfectly.

[testimonial company="GUY X" author="Rob Fraser – Empire"]
Hats are definitely off, however, to cinematographer François Dagenais, whose every shot hits its target, from the bleak beauty of a volcanic landscape to the nightmarish reality of a hospital ward. His and Metzstein’s work combines with Biggs’ compelling performance to pull off that most difficult of cinematic tricks.

The film’s Cinematography and direction are neatly pegged to the arc of Spruance’s moods , as well as the seasons.

visually it makes for an arresting spectacle

The richness of the visuals is matched by the clever contortions of the plot

[testimonial company="NO MORE TEARS SISTER" author="Virginia Heffernan – NY Times"]
looks like a Satyajit Ray movie: beautiful and sedatingly slow… With lush cinematography

Beautifully shot

[testimonial company="MALLS R US" author="Brian Sholis – Art forum"]
Nonetheless, at the end of the film there remains something to the claim made at the outset that the mall is a kind of sacred place. This is partly because of the lovely cinematography of François Dagenais
