Holy Motors | Ratings & Reviews

Denis Lavant is a chameleon freak in this surreal nocturnal odyssey from Leos Carax. We flit between visions of Kylie Minogue and motion-capture madness - don't think, just dream. 

"Exhilarating, opaque, heartbreaking and completely bonkers..."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Only dream logic - give or take pure cinema - can begin to explain the wacky beauty of what goes on here."

VarietyVariety

"Bold, romantic and hilarious experimentation at its absolute finest."

Little White LiesLittle White Lies

"It is wayward, kaleidoscopic, black comic and bizarre; there is in it a batsqueak of genius, dishevelment and derangement; it is captivating and compelling."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"Here is a film that is exasperating, frustrating, anarchic and in a constant state of renewal. It's not tame."

Roger EbertRoger Ebert

"Surreal and often disturbing and sometimes poignant and always mesmerising."

The Globe and MailThe Globe and Mail

"A dream of the movies that looks like a movie of dreams."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"(A) visionary, jaw-dropping spectacle."

A.V. ClubA.V. Club

"Holy Motors, fueled by pure feeling, is a dream of a movie you want to get lost in."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"It's the coolest and strangest movie of the year..."

SalonSalon

"Despite or perhaps because of the passage of time, Carax has made a film of an extraordinarily youthful vigour."

The New YorkerThe New Yorker

"Obtuse and preposterous, but never less than riveting."

IGNIGN

"Cinema is easy, life is mysterious. Perhaps that's Carax's message. Whatever it it is, he has our attention."

San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco Chronicle

"A wary celebration, a joyful dirge that's served up in concentrated form by a roving band of accordion players."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"This wilfully delirious concoction feels like a guided tour of a cinematic museum that exists only inside Carax’s cranium..."

Time OutTime Out

"Great art is a celebration of the artist and the audience, and shows how the two intertwine into something ineffable yet truly sublime. Holy Motors is great art."
