ChadS.Jan 7, 20057If the film is self-aware, a car chase, or any action element becomes arty. We see a bad Hollywood film with the requisite explosions on an in-flight film at the film's opening. When "demonlover" switches genre and becomes less talk-oriented, don't assume the film is being dumbed down for commercial purposes.

DanB.Oct 13, 20035Looks good and well acted n all, and individually the scenes are great but when it comes together it just doesn't make for very affecting stuff. Seems like it is trying to make some statements but gets lost in its own need to be vague or arty? Not sure. But it just doesn't gel into much.

ClintH.May 23, 200510A visually stunning french art-action film. Strange and obscure, but haunting and powerful. Loved the idea that theses people live in a place where reality is suspended, and they have no feelings or emotions, much like a videogame. It casts a spell you will never forget.

30Sure to turn off general viewers due to its emotional inaccessibility, multitude of narrative problems and preoccupation with a torture Web site.

100Olivier Assayas latest effort could be mistaken for a hipper-than-thou thriller. But it isnt--its in fact a difficult, challenging, and troubling art film. [October 2003, p. 19]

70May be Assayas' airiest work to date, an intriguing trifle that leaves its considerable pleasures to lounge around on the surface.
