• Patrick Z. McGavin Nearly wordless `Tuvalu' is too repetitive. Chicago Tribune, February 1, 2002. P. 4. "French actor Denis Lavant -- the star of Leos Carax's early films and, more recently, Claire Denis' "Beau Travail," and a man who bears a striking resemblance to Buster Keaton -- plays Anton, a young dreamer whose blind father runs the bathhouse. Through a series of deceptive practices, Anton has convinced his father that the bathhouse is filled with customers. Anton's brother Gregor (Terrence Gillespie) is a ruthless industrialist who wants desperately to destroy the building and erect a futuristic city in its place. But that struggle is soon replaced by the movie's dominant story line, Anton's falling in love with a beautiful 18-year-old girl, Eva (Chuplan Hamatova)." "A fascinating work that never quite coalesces, Tuvalu finally becomes oppressively repetitive."
• Mick LaSalle Tuvalu. San Francisco Chronicle. December 14, 2001. "An extended attempt to make a film of this kind, is a disappointment, a precious and grotesque exercise reminiscent of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's "Delicatessen," only less amusing."
