The movie’s half-hearted jokes, on frustrated women artists and their blind male collaborators, tend to be one-note and thankfully besides the point. But if you adjust your expectations, you’re more likely to accept Lux Aeterna as a vigorously realized doodle. Read full review

As a minor work, it provides an enjoyable snippet of rambunctious formalism that puts Noé in a category of his own. Read full review

While it holds more value for the conversations it will undoubtedly spark between audiences, the thriller still stands as a bold and brash experiment that demands multiple viewings to get the most of its style and themes. Read full review

Lux Aeterna, to its credit, is a pretty terrible commercial and an undeniably fascinating experiment. Read full review

Insufficiently diverting ... Lux Æterna shows Noé reverting to the self-parodic silliness that Climax had taken him past. Read full review
