Despite the difficulties that the director, Andrei Tarkovsky, experienced getting this film shown abroad, or even obtaining an official release in his native Soviet Union (or perhaps partly due to those reasons), the work is currently very highly regarded. In the most recent BFI Sight & Sound critics' and directors' polls of the best films of all time, released in 2012, the film achieved the exceptionally high ranking of 27th in the critics' poll. However, Tarkovsky's own later film Lo specchio (1975), outranked it, placing 19th in the same poll. Similarly, in the directors' poll of that year, the film tied for 13th place, while Lo specchio (1975) appears in 9th place.
