I just couldn't get into this movie. The direction is very different from most movies and this film has become a cult classic with a giant following right behind it. But for me it was a two-parter story that is a very repetitive, seizure inducing, mind mushing bore that is barely... read more

November 12, 2011fb732260458Quite possibly the most trippy and vividly realized films I've ever seen - Gaspar Noe's cinematographic flair is seizure-inducing yet absolutely stunning in scope. The same can be said for the film's plot - which is marvelous at points and nearly unwatchable at others. The film m... read more

Yes, we know that its 1h30min worth of repetitive scenes but thats also the beauty of it. Its art-house and not intended to a fast paced action film. In the right mood, this film is beautiful

Technically stunning like Gaspar Noe's Irreversible, this is a kaleidoscopic head-fuck of extreme cinema, pulling in everything from POV noir Lady in the Lake (1947) to 2001. It's also dreadfully acted, tediously "profound" and painfully overlong. Shot throug... read more

Wow. So that was what all the fuss was about! I have to confess, I watched it late on Saturday night after drinking a little too much wine. I made notes though, like I sometimes do in order to remember the things I want to mention in my reviews. I'm not sure I could say it better... read more

Gaspar Noé proves again he is such an imaginative director, taking us with a subjective camera in a depressing psychedelic trip presented entirely from the point of view of the main character. An interesting drug-induced-like experience of strong colors and strobing lights.

There is something about this film that (to spite about 30 minutes worth of excess selfindulgent camera pans back and forth across the city) really got under my skin and in my head.
There are shades of Blade Runner, Train Spotting and some camera work, music and sound moments ... read more -

Oscar: Do you remember that pact we made? We promised to never leave each other.
Enter the Void is self described by the film's director, Gaspar Noe, as a psychedelic melodrama, and that is a pretty decent way to sum it up. Given that this film is inspired by, among other thi... read more -

Whether you love or hate the subject matter, Noe is a force to be reckoned with. His films are incredibly unique, beautifully shot, & and agonizingly painful to watch at times. While not as powerful as Irreversible, Enter the Void is an interesting & hallucinogenic look at what h... read more

This movie will probably haunt me for years to come. While I can't say it's the best film of the year, it is hands down some of the most amazing cinematography I've ever seen.
Critic Reviews
If you yourself are stoked for a lurid, oversexed, stupid-with-Freud Midnight Movie extravaganza -- a trip to El Topo via Mulholland Drive -- there are worse ways to spend 2 1/2 hours. Full Review
[It's] certainly an immersive experience that's decidedly difficult to shake. The problem is that it's also the most excruciating sit in recent cinematic memory. Full Review
As chowderheaded as some of its underlying pretensions are, the movie's still an astonishing work of cinema, alternately brilliant and disgusting, naïve and inspired, tedious and sublime. Full Review
Hallucinogenic, dazzling, depressing, daring and not entirely successful, "Enter the Void" is obviously out to blow some minds. Full Review
One-hundred-proof unfiltered weirdness. Full Review
Director Gaspar Noé proved a shock poet in Irreversible. In Enter the Void, he's a shockingly tedious show-off. Full Review
Gaspar Noé has followed up his 2002 Irreversible, an unwatchable exercise in provocation, with Enter the Void, an unbearable exercise in provocation. Full Review
An accomplished, daring, even great film. Full Review
It's a dark and commanding vision, reaching for the heavens even as it wallows in the muck. Full Review
