Baby Invasion has a clearer focus this time: It’s to make you, the viewer, feel bad, and often wanting to beg to the screen, “Please god let this end,” or perhaps more aptly, “end me.” Here is a filmmaker who, these days, resents his own audience. Here is a movie for no one. Read full review

Baby Invasion’s feature watchability aside, Korine’s new chapter is a tectonic experimental development for the film industry, a step in the right direction towards uncharted territory by nature of exploration and originality alone. Read full review

Between picture-in-picture viewers, pop-up ads, reality posing as unreality, and a seconds-long attention span, Baby Invasion is a Reddit thread vision board with little to offer. Read full review

The Film VerdictStephen DaltonSep 6, 2024
Behind its superficially avant-garde aesthetic, Baby Invasion is a shallow, conservative, masturbatory piece of work. It leaves behind an uncomfortable choice: either Korine has run out of anything interesting to say, or he has actually been trolling us all along. Read full review

The TelegraphRobbie CollinSep 6, 2024
Baby Invasion, which premiered at Venice tonight, may be the stupidest film I have ever seen. And I use the word “may” only because I’m not entirely sure this thing actually is a film in the first place. Read full review
