    The film looks magnificent. That is about the only good thing one can say about this film. The gorgeous cinematography is wasted here as the film simply becomes a meaningless montage off weird images for the sake of weirdness. The actors look like they aren't sure of what they're supposed to be feeling. Frankly I dont blame them, the micro-direction, the ridiculously obtuse-for-no-reason script, the seeming randomness off it all makes for one big **** of a film. The music, could have been great, but the excellent theme music is cut out for a grating hum by the end off it all. It bombards you over the head with all the subtlety of an atom bomb. The film has no point, no meaning, nothing of anything except pretty images really. Even art house directors or Jowordosky have some meaning to their work. This is a brain hammering montage of as many weird things as the director can throw in. And the ending? One of the worst endings in film. It has no conclusion, no rumination it just ends in the middle as if the director/writer ran out of ideas. Save your time and go watch Enter the Void instead if you want to see what a modern mind bender of a film is.… Expand

    Beyond the Black Rainbow is the kind of movie whose cool-looking trailer entices you to midnight screenings, but the film will bore you so profoundly you'll fall asleep halfway and wake up disoriented during the closing credits.

    Beyond the Black Rainbow has a doomy, dreamy, druggy, draggy feel that's impressively sustained - until it becomes oppressive, then pointless, then laughable.

    As filmmaking debuts go, Panos Cosmatos' Beyond the Black Rainbow is as striking as it is nuts.
