"Adapting a play by Charles Péguy, Dumont turns the tale into a dialectical spectacle: he stages military musters like Busby Berkeley productions, seethes at the torturers’ rationalizations, delights in hearing his actors declaim the scholars’ sophistries, and thrills in the pugnacious simplicity of Joan’s defiant responses, which reduce her captors’ pride to ridicule."—The New Yorker
"Collaborating with the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) and Nickel Media, Maddin and his co-creators—brothers Evan and Galen Johnson—built an algorithm that remixes 30 films that the director shot especially for the project. Seances allows the audience to interact with the film through the algorithm, which builds a never-before-seen ephemeral film that will, like lost films, never be seen again."—VICE
