BARDO, Falsa Crónica de unas Cuantas Verdades - Reviews

It is mind-bending and doesn’t make sense but if you introspect, our minds are no different – as our thoughts go from a 0 to 100 very quickly and with no reasoning.

Yes, the blatantly autobiographical Bardo is acrimoniously self-indulgent. But it needs to be.

...visually sensational...

...the movie is a marvel in its own way, dotted with pure cinephile delights and small unexpected pockets of profundity...

...speckled with brilliant individual moments...

...stundtals ren filmmagi.

...mesterinstruktøren Iñárritus filmteknisk storslåede og hæmningsløst navlebeskuende selvportræt...

Ambitionerne (...) er bjergtagende, og Iñarritu realiserer sin vision i 70mm-format med et tilsyneladende bundløst Netflix-budget.

...formår i passager på udsøgt vis at skabe usikkerhed om tid, sted, virkelighed og drøm, og som en dygtig illusionist gør instruktøren os usikre på, hvad vi ser...
