The New York TimesNicolas RapoldDec 12, 2024
Love poem, restless dream, troubled history, alchemist’s scrapbook — Leos Carax’s It’s Not Me is pure cinema as it dances through its dense 42 minutes. Read full review

The New YorkerRichard BrodyDec 11, 2024
With “It’s Not Me,” Carax confronts the aberration of celebrity (even art-house celebrity) by means of a cinematic self-creation that’s both a matter of sincere reticence and an audaciously assertive work of art. Read full review

Whether one looks at it as a summation statement from an artist taking stock of their life and work at the end of their career or as another one of the brief cinematic diversions that he has taken on in between his feature projects, “It’s Not Me” is a reminder that Leos Carax is one of the most fascinating and formally interesting filmmakers working in the world today.

Little White LiesDavid JenkinsMay 19, 2025
Beyond the archness and cynicism, there are some profound, self-reflective insights about what it means to make moving images in the 21st century. Read full review

ColliderJason GorberDec 18, 2024
While Carax’s cinema may not be to everyone’s taste, this primer on both his philosophy and his aesthetic is as effective as anything he’s ever directed. Brilliant in its concision, even the most jarring of elements never overstay their welcome, making this perhaps the purest and most honest chapter in his entire filmography. Read full review

IndieWireChristian ZilkoJan 7, 2025
Despite the simple question at the film’s core, Carax is unsurprisingly more interested in assembling compelling images and sounds than offering a sincere look inside the man crafting them. He orbits vulnerability like a moth swirling around a streetlamp, getting ever closer and occasionally touching it before instantly recoiling. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerNov 15, 2024
The auteur seems to be squeezing everything he can into a personal manifesto in which cinema, history and real life become interchangeable, and in which he tries to situate his output within film’s larger trajectory. Read full review

The PlaylistChristian GallichioDec 21, 2024
With its short runtime and heady mix of styles, scenes, and ruminations, it’s still a fascinating refraction of one of the most interesting filmmakers working today. Read full review

The Film StageSavina PetkovaNov 15, 2024
Carax allows his audience to see a process––assertive statement to hesitation to defeat. The true vulnerability of the essayistic form lies in showing attempts and failures, not only successes. Read full review

VarietySiddhant AdlakhaNov 15, 2024
he fatal flaw of “It’s Not Me” is that it looks backward rather than forward, embodying films that have already been made, rather than those yet to be dreamed. Read full review
