Few of Planetarium's many strands are neatly tied together. There's an ambition to almost every shot as Zlotowski creates a rarified version of nighttime Paris. Read full review

Gary Goldstein

Although Planetarium may not wholly satisfy as the kind of statement film it so ambitiously aims to be, this intriguing drama, confidently directed by Rebecca Zlotowski (who co-wrote with Robin Campillo) proves a singular, at times haunting experience. Read full review

Graham Fuller

Rebecca Zlotowski’s third feature packs in so many ideas and themes, and boasts so many ravishing and enigmatic images, that it seems choked with riches. Read full review

IndieWire David Ehrlich

Sep 17, 2016

A beautiful wisp of an idea that is seldom compelling and almost never coherent, Planetarium squanders an irresistibly alluring premise. Read full review

The Film Stage Nick Newman

Sep 17, 2016

Little is left after a while until, finally, Planetarium doesn’t conclude so much as come to an end, and the lasting impression is one of bitterness — a bitterness at once sweetened and worsened by memories of the genuinely great work it had promised and, at turns, even embodied. Read full review

The Playlist Rodrigo Perez

Sep 17, 2016

To her credit, Zlotowski’s film does capture the lulling feeling of a séance, but there’s a gossamer-thin thread between the mysterious and the mystifying and perhaps her delicately ephemeral film just doesn’t know how to recognize the difference. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

Sep 17, 2016

Planetarium is an inert and slipshod movie — messy and aimless, a period tale told with zero period atmosphere (you have to keep reminding yourself that it’s not taking place in 2016), built around a situation with enough possibilities to make you wish that the director, Rebecca Zlotowski, had taken advantage of at least one of them.

Dos hermanas estadounidenses (Natalie Portman y Lily-Rose Deep) recorren algunos teatros de Europa poco antes de la Segunda Guerra Mundial con un número de espiritismo, ya que una de ellas es medium. Cuando son vistas en París por un productor de cine (Emmanuel Salinger), éste se entusiasma con ellas y les propone un proyecto.

Plantarium es de esas películas que contienen planteos interesantes, incluso intrigantes y perversos, y varias buenas ideas pero que no alcanzan a integrarse satisfactoriamente y que se terminan disgregando, en parte por su naturaleza y sobre todo por su realización cinematográfica.

Two American sisters (Natalie Portman and Lily-Rose Deep) tour some theaters in Europe shortly before World War II with a number of spiritism, since one of them is a medium. When they are seen in Paris by a film producer (Emmanuel Salinger), he becomes enthusiastic about them and proposes a project to them.

Planetarium is one of those films that contains interesting, even intriguing and perverse approaches, and several good ideas but that do not manage to integrate satisfactorily and that end up disintegrating, partly because of their nature and especially because of their cinematographic realization.

Reseña español Dos hermanas estadounidenses, Laura y Kate Barlow (Natalie Portman y Lily-Rose Deep) recorren algunos teatros de Europa poco antes de la Segunda Guerra Mundial con un número de espiritismo, ya que una de ellas es medium. Cuando son vistas en París por André Korben, un productor de cine (Emmanuel Salinger), éste se entusiasma con ellas y les propone un proyecto.

Plantarium es de esas películas que contienen planteos interesantes (incluso intrigantes y perversos) y varias ideas buenas pero que no alcanzan a integrarse satisfactoriamente y que se terminan disgregando, en parte por su naturaleza, por una ambigüedad que deja de ser efectiva y sobre todo por su realización cinematográfica.

Sabemos que un planetario es un dispositivo que proyecta en una bóveda una cielo ilusorio. Uno de los temas de la película de Rebecca Zlotowski es los cruces entre realidad y ficción a través de la cinematografía (reminiscentes de algunos cuentos de Horacio Quiroga sobre el tema) y una realidad que en este caso es ambigua y que busca además el auxilio de la parapsicología y lo onírico. En cuanto al título en español alude a uno de los aspectos si se quiere perversos de la trama (tal vez el más original) que queda a medio camino. Y todo esto en un clima de época del que quiere resultar emergente pero sin lograrlo del todo.

Planetarium ofrece una muy buena actuación de Emmnuel Salinger y como es usual en estas producciones, un primoroso diseño de arte.… Expand
