Annette - Reviews

...a film that is intensely and deliberately stagey.

...an exhilarating and exuberant experience.

...the screen belongs to Driver, who devours the role so ferociously you almost expect to see the film stock bubble and burn at the corners.

...at the heart of its swirling strangeness lies something of real truth and beauty that left me unexpectedly crying...

Driver and Marion Cotillard brim with nervous energy in this bizarre musical collaboration...

...a tragic satire, a commentary on the arc of celebrity, the craving for and eventual weight of fame and what one man will do to maintain it.

The most original film of 2021, 'Annette' is a ride like no other, a spellbinding waltz in a storm.

Carax's visual touches are often breathtaking...

...is this magnificent, lunatic rock opera real or did you dream it?

I was frequently baffled, often enraptured. And so it goes for Leos Carax’s Annette.

...one can’t deny about “Annette” is that over the course of 139 minutes, it never, ever takes a break from being creatively bizarre.

...bold, creative, and fearless...

The Sparks-composed rock opera is an ideal fit with Carax's enigmatic storytelling, which will take your breath away.

...a combustible musical melodrama peppered with meta meditations on fame.

Det är detaljerna, snarare än helheten, som gör musikalen sevärd.
