- Critics' reviews
-
-
"An integrated work whose form clearly mirrors its content. Often, looking into that mirror is dreadful; but, often enough, it's also dreadfully revealing"
-
"Stupid, vicious, and pretentious, though you may find it worth checking out if you want to experiment with your own nervous system."
-
"Deeply humanist and emotionally complex"
-
"Fails because of its gratuitous rape and violence and also because of its pretentious and intellectually one-dimensional grounds"
-
"There are strong ideas at play in Noé's undeniably audacious and technically stunning second feature"
