Pinkerton compared Abendland to the works of other Austrian directors Ulrich Seidl and Michael Glawogger in how they show "under-the-hood images of the global economy’s workings".
Like fellow Austrian director Ulrich Seidl, with whom he collaborated several times, Glawogger is mainly known for his documentary films such as Megacities (1998), Workingman's Death (2005) and Whores' Glory (2011).
