Annette

"This latest dose of weirdness from “Holy Motors” director (...) It’s not for everyone (...) though Carax’s grand experiment is certainly bold enough to find its share of defenders." 

"Adam Driver is a deranged force of nature in Carax’s mind-blowing musical fantasia (...) Carax excels at using sleek, entrancing surfaces to explore the poetic contours of a dark, enigmatic existence" 

"The stubbornly flat new film is a strange and discordant creation. The different sensibilities involved rarely mesh together and the songs seldom ignite much feeling." 

"It’s hard not to feel stirred, even moved, by the sheer improbable fact of this picture’s existence: Moment by moment, you’re held by its loony flights of lyricism and gorgeous images" 

"An altogether weirder, more troubling and personal film than one might expect. (...) this astoundingly beautiful picture will stand the test of time. (...) A wildly melodramatic rock opera prone to insane flights of desire, despair, and dorkiness, 'Annette' is gloriously artificial" 

"A bold, original, avant-garde House of Broken Mirrors take on “A Star Is Born” that at times soars with creative energy (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"A pretentious, arty and occasionally breathtaking musical (...) The thinness of “Annette’s” narrative and the unpleasantness of its music are only underscored by the virtuosity of its central performances (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
