Critic Reviews

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.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

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.Full Review

L.A. Weekly

Pola X has enough fireworks to keep you in your seat. When it's over, you'll know you've had an experience.Full Review

Stephen Holden
The New York Times

Searingly potent and suggestively supple, Carax's images are rich with emotion and ideas.Full Review

Marjorie Baumgarten
Austin Chronicle

I would rather see one movie like this than a thousand "Bring It Ons."Full Review
