Movie Reviews

Reviews:
"[H]is new film is more of a bildungsroman, something along the lines of THE SORROWS OF YOUNG ALEJANDRO: heartbreak, unrequited love, initiation, artistic self-discovery." - 07/13/2017 A.V. Club


4 stars out of 4 -- "[I]t feels like it was made with a young man's passion and egoism. Every supporting character is a reflection or abstraction that serves to enrich and support the main character's personal anarchic philosophy." - 07/14/2017 RogerEbert.com


"[I]t contains some of the most vividly strange moments you’ll encounter in a movie all year -- wild, hallucinatory bursts of visual and conceptual insanity..." - 07/13/2017 Los Angeles Times


"[I]t is testament to the relentless energy and undimmed ingenuity of its creator and a moving defense of the prerogatives of the imagination." - 07/13/2017 New York Times


"[I]t basically functions as a primer on the philosophy of the 87-year-old artist, complete with a king-sized helping of poetic touches and the usual visual fetishes that make his work so instantly recognizable." - 05/14/2017 Hollywood Reporter


"[A] work of transporting charm and feeling. It’s the most accessible movie the director has ever made, and it may also be the best." - 05/14/2017 Variety


"[Whether the] moments are entirely true, totally fabricated, or representative of some larger, psychological truth doesn’t matter when you’re in the hands of this consummate visual artist." - 07/01/2017 Film Comment


"As befits his youthfulness, Alejandro’s tale in this film takes on a more picaresque, jauntier tone than that of the earlier film. But hovering over it all is the old man that the young man will become, appearing on screen on occasion to console his younger self with his retrospective wisdom." - 07/21/2017 Boston Globe
