Critic Reviews

Paula Nechak

It's compelling, poetic, rebellious, funny and one of the few movies that feels like it's been culled from another time and place yet broodingly bends modern societal taboos. Read full review

Manohla Dargis

The film is at once breathtaking and ridiculous, and it's the tension between these two extremes, as well as Carax's own intoxicating style, that makes it essential viewing. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

Plays out the notion of the forces of light being inexorably drawn to those of darkness, of the older generation betraying the younger and maybe even an indictment of European indifference to the Balkans' agony. Read full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum

There's only one Carax, uncompromisingly ambiguous. Read full review

Wesley Morris

A less confrontational, though positively gushing modernization of "Pierre, or the Ambiguities." Read full review

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Carax has a wonderful cinematic eye and a personal feeling for editing rhythms, and his sense of overripeness and excess virtually defines him. Read full review

Peter Stack

Carax, with Pola X, has become a parody of himself with a self-indulgent, overreaching style that many viewers will find a struggle to watch -- provided they can contain their contempt for pretentiousness. Read full review
