After a while, a didactic overdeliberateness seeps into Noé's design, but there's no doubt that he's a new kind of dark film wizard: a poet of apocalyptic shock.
"Time destroys all," claims the film, but the monstrous capabilities of human evil is the real culprit here, and Noe is determined to prove that the real evil that men do is not fodder for cinematic spectacle and cinematic entertainment.

Epileptic and brutal, Irreversible is certainly an unforgettable and mind-blowing cinematic experience. With the story told in reverse chronology, making a strong allusion to Christopher Nolan's Memento (2000), Gaspar Noé's feature set in a degraded and dirty Paris basically leads us to a story divided into three segments: revenge, crime and love, which contrast very well with each other with great emphasis on an excellent performance by Monica Bellucci

There are strong ideas at play in Noé's undeniably audacious and technically stunning second feature, which goes as far as any film can in revealing the breakdown of order and the deterioration of the rational mind.
About halfway through Irreversible comes the longest sustained act of violence I've seen onscreen.
Though Mr. Noé; displays prodigious filmmaking technique, his punk-operatic meditation on life, love, anger and -- most important -- guilt is superficially inventive, but singularly adolescent.
Fails because of its gratuitous rape and violence and also because of its pretentious and intellectually one-dimensional grounds, which make the violence at the end feel even worse.
Truthfully, it's all incredibly boring. Noé tosses in some dime-store existentialism ("Time destroys everything"), but this is a movie with not a whole lot on its mind except rank exploitation.
This masterpiece isn't no also my top favourite films. It's a work of art. Because of the dirtiness is also beauty. And because the last scene of the film is the greatest ever made. And because Gaspar Noe is a genius. This film isn't only brutallity, it's also originallity, beauty, it's a reflection, and a conclusion that we cannot escape the time. Because: Le Temps Detruit Tout.

extremely disturbing, with a great start to middle execution, but the last part of the movie makes you confused to core about the whole concept of the movie and its worth

Interestingly filmed. The camera was shaking almost all the time and at the beginning I slowly couldn't figure out what was going on, but it had its charm and gradually it started to make more sense. Story-wise, I don't think it's anything special. What pulls it off for me is the way it's filmed. For me, an average film that I wouldn't recommend to I don't know who. For fans of smut I think it was nothing special and you can find better smut movies and for the normal viewer I think it's not much of a movie.

la trama in se per se avrebbe avuto un senso se non fosse stata sviluppata in maniera pessima, l’interpretazione degli attori è ottima( per questo non ho dato una stella) ma il fatto di continuare a muovere la telecamera a caso per “creare un senso di ansia” non è riuscito per niente anzi mi ha fatto solo girare le scatole. Marcus è da prendere a cazzotti, voglio dire invece di menare il primo che ti capita sotto tiro cerca di ragionare,Pierre unico **** decente viene rovinato perché deve sempre mettere le mani addosso a Marcus quando cerca di calmarlo,apprezzo il tuo sforzo Pierre ma porta miseria non toccare che cavolo metti le mani addosso,finale molto discutibile.
