LE MONDE (FR) : "Le réalisateur tunisien Ala Eddine Slim n’aura eu aucun mal à imposer la belle tenue, l’étrangeté méditative, pour ne pas dire la folie douce de Tlamess. La mise en scène est brillante, à la fois opaque et ultra-sensorielle, agençant travellings hypnotiques et composition musicale électrique dans quelques plans séquences d’anthologie." SCREENDAILY (UK) : "The second feature from Tunisian filmmaker Ala Eddine Slim is an enigmatic and wildly unpredictable odyssey which is too obtuse to live up to its name – Tlamess is a Tunisian word meaning ‘enchantment’" LIBERATION (FR) : "Le cinéaste, qu’on pourrait dire héritier ou cousin de Sharunas Bartas et Apichatpong Weerasethakul, témoigne par sa liberté et sa confiance dans la puissance expérimentale du cinéma de l’effervescence artistique en Tunisie sans jamais chercher à produire un discours ou un commentaire sur son pays lui-même, affranchi lui aussi de toute attache trop explicite."
