Begins with a woman dancing provocatively with the camera focused on her crotch, a [too] long shower scene followed by a murder followed by another shower scene.

Can we pleaseBegins with a woman dancing provocatively with the camera focused on her crotch, a [too] long shower scene followed by a murder followed by another shower scene. And after all that cleaning up, she has sex with a car. Seriously. Can we please stop trying to depict this in movies? It's been tried before and is never convincing or realistic. Just silly. I love nudity. I love cars. I love murder. I love women. But not this way. There is nothing sexy about this. Not interesting or memorable. And the murder was strictly amateur. It's competently made and acted . And I guess it's going for different or shocking. But the level of sophistication is like a 90s movie. It could have been more over the top. Or darker and depressing. But it just sort of lies there.
Summary: Nudity. Murder. And brutality. But boring… Expand

While this utterly out-there cinematic fiasco may do a fine job at generating shock value (though schlock value would probably be more fitting), there's nothing otherwise redeeming about this exercise in pointless, pretentious crap. With aWhile this utterly out-there cinematic fiasco may do a fine job at generating shock value (though schlock value would probably be more fitting), there's nothing otherwise redeeming about this exercise in pointless, pretentious crap. With a story line that's all over the map, virtually nonexistent character development and almost no resolution to any of its diverse narrative threads, this truly is a case of there being "no there, there." Those who erroneously try to characterize this garbage as high art will likely rationalize away the complete lack of a coherent story or meaningful insights as "unimportant," but that's just far too convenient an excuse to justify the validity and viability of this nonsensical trash. Its stunningly odd mix of slasher film elements, cheesy sexual gratuitousness and bizarre horror film tropes just doesn't cut it, particularly when it's further enhanced by such peculiarities as a sexually ambiguous fire company, a steroid-obsessed father figure and incidents that bring new meaning to the concept of "auto" erotica. It's puzzling how director Julia Ducournau's latest even made it to the Cannes Film Festival, let alone how the picture walked away with the Palme d'Or, the event's top prize. It has since also been named France's official selection for the upcoming Oscar competition. Let's hope that saner heads prevail before that august ceremony and stop the ill-considered madness associated with this travesty before things go any further.… Expand

Rien que l’affiche est déjà malséante et de mauvais goût, comme un avant-(mauvais) goût de ce qui vous attend dans cette espèce de film malsain et dégueulasse, névrosé et volontiers psychopathe. Mais également très progressiste et décousu àRien que l’affiche est déjà malséante et de mauvais goût, comme un avant-(mauvais) goût de ce qui vous attend dans cette espèce de film malsain et dégueulasse, névrosé et volontiers psychopathe. Mais également très progressiste et décousu à la fois avec son agenda woke à la petite semaine !

On suit donc -ou du moins on essaye en tout cas- les « aventures » d’une fêlée du ciboulot avec sa plaque de titane dans la tête (ceci est expliqué tout au début du film) qui baise avec une bagnole, puis tombe enceinte (si, si…) et se tape plus tard un camion (rouge pompier). On devine à ce train-là qu’elle va rapidement accoucher d’une Twingo.

Accessoirement, cette tarée tue des gens ici et là, sans qu’on ne sache pourquoi (tout cela est accessoire sans doute) jusqu’à ce qu’elle se fasse passer pour le fils de Vincent Lindon, lequel s’est égaré dans ce salmigondis provocateur, inepte et surréaliste (ce film d’auteure a remporté la palme à l’asile des peigne-culs de Cannes, on comprend pourquoi…!).

On regarde néanmoins jusqu’au bout, jusqu’au grand final qui se vautre dans le ridicule le plus complet… Le précédent film ou plutôt étron de la réalisatrice était déjà gravos et odieux mais là, on touche le fond dans l’abjection purement provocatrice ! on tient donc avec cet étron vaguement filmique une grosse merdasse de plus, putassière et répugnante. Il faut l’évacuer bien au fond des chiottes et tirer trois fois la chasse par dessus.… Expand

Horrible.

It is a pity that they are giving up beauty and art in the name of their political views.

A hollow post-modernist attempt at art, riff with nihilism and shock for shock's sake. All cheaply imitated style (Gaspar Noe & Cronenberg) with zero substance.

All cheaply imitated style (Gaspar Noe & Cronenberg) with zero substance. Heavily influenced by Gaspar Noe's "I Stand Alone" and "Irreversible", with some sequences and characters almost directly ripped from these films. Yet where Noe's films attempt, in some form, to portray some meaning in the meaninglessness via the characters who at least have some human goals (even when depicting the disturbing lead character in "I Stand Alone"), "Titane" simply portrays an inhumane caricature of emptiness that embodies the selfish self-destruction of the nihilistic mindset. The film is as cold as the titanium in its heroine, marking its attempts at cheap "shock" with polarizing gimmicks that consistently fall flat. An utter waste of celluloid if there ever was one. So why did it win the Palm d'Or? Politics, hijacked senses in an era of fear.… Expand

It has shock value to the easily-shocked and exactly nothing else to offer.

This was... A rather interesting film to say the least.

A rather interesting film to say the least. From Julia Ducornou (director of the grotesque but also very overrated 'Raw'), I can't even begin to describe what this film is about, cause even after seeing it, I still have no idea what it was even supposed to be about. (Somehow) the winner of the Palme D'or (a French Oscar) at the Cannes film festival, the film follows a woman who's a serial killer in France that finds herself in unusual circumstances when a man takes her into his home while she's on the run. And to give any more than that away would likely ruin the film, but what's the point in worrying about that when this film is simply bizarre, pretentious, and pointless just for the sake of it!? Seriously, the film is simply disgusting, weird, and random with no merit, rhyme or reason behind it (or at least no smart or justified reason) oh and to cap it all off, one of the main plot points involved the main female lead engaging in sexual intercourse with an... Inanimate object and becoming pregnant as the film progresses. Ya...this film was absurd, and not in a cool Lynchian or Cronenberg way like what many other reviewers have been saying.… Expand

A terribly stupid and illogical picture. Forced and boring. One of the worst films I have seen lately. a complete waste of time.
