Enter the void tried really hard to show the world of drugs and death and it succeeded in that. Both main characters piss you off with their slow-moving face, reactions, actions and just life experience. I would say too much lights, too fast changing lights, too bright, too annoying for the eyes sometimes. But actually, there is this idea behind what is happening in the film, that’s makes the movie - must seen. :)… Expand

I (as long as the other movie-goers at my theater) were less impressed by "Enter The Void" than most of the critics.

I read that this movie isn't very "audience-friendly" but is still an important piece of cinema to watch, this is a good summation of how I felt about this film, although I underestimated how un-entertaining this film would be. There is no doubt that this film is excellently shot, and tries to do many bold things, including having the first twenty minutes being a first person view of the protagonist's DMT-fueled hallucination, along with hearing his every thought and experiencing him blink every 30 seconds. Unfortunately, it goes downhill from there, as after he gets killed, the audience is treated to a 2 hours and forty minute overdose of pathos to his unlikeable sister and entourage of friends. For a movie so steeped in Buddhist mythos, there is very little philosophical or spiritual content to be had. Many scenes of his childhood trauma and later drug use are unnecessarily repeated, as are endless robotic and unerotic sex scenes involving his sister and all the other characters. Despite my problems with it, it is still worth a watch for it's trippy visuals, interesting camera work, and it's take on literal slice of life filming… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First movie I've seen (and I've seen a bunch) that shows me an actual abortion, a penis going into a vagina and ejaculating (viewed from inside the woman's body), and a dead guy's spirit inhabiting the bodies of different dudes so he can have sex with his sister, mother, and his best friend's mother. What's with all the shiny crap between all the people getting it on? Looks like bioluminescence.....… Expand

Gaspar Noé is a provocateur and the dude accepts it willingly, but that personality and sagacity doesn't translate into good films.

Enter The Void is perhaps his best effort to date because it's an interesting visual, psychodelic and almost sensorial proposal but is focused on a narrative as dull as it is slow that if you end up adding its excessive length I must say the film will challenge your patience and your own expectations.

If you consume purely commercial films, stay away, there is nothing here for you.… Expand
