Review:
Pure magic. Every fashion film and NYU undergraduate thesis takes its cues from this lyrical masterpiece. In college I tried to make a satirical remake entitled Lunchtime at Dangling Boulder, but all my actors slept too late. Lena Dunham, on the film adaptation
[From the] Victorian hothouse atmosphere and fetishism . . . and its focus on the burgeoning sexual curiosity of the girls (and the women) . . . to Gothic terrors, supernatural wonder, divine mysticism, or the imperialist unconscious . . . Picnic actively encourages a host of fantasies. Megan Abbott, author of You Will Know Me, The Fever, and Dare Me, in an essay for The Criterion Collection s Blu-ray/DVD edition of the film
A sinister tale laced with touches of other-worldliness The Guardian
Deliciously horrific. The Observer
The fact that most people believed that this palpable fiction was a record of a real event is not merely a tribute to the writer but a testimony to the atavistic power of its theme. The Spectator
Beautifully haunting. The Sun Herald (Australia)"
