Megalopolis | Ratings & Reviews

"Coppola’s bold, ungainly epic crams in half a dozen stars and decades’ worth of ideas."

VarietyVariety

"A head-wrecking abomination."

The TimesThe Times

"A full-body sci-fi sensory bath of a movie."

Daily TelegraphDaily Telegraph

"A folly that's not without a certain fascination."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Juicy and weird."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"Flashes of humour cannot rescue this conspiracy thriller from awful acting and dull effects."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"(It) might be the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy every single batshit second of it."

VultureVulture

"It’s nearly impossible to digest in a single, baffling viewing."

Associated PressAssociated Press

"If you don’t enjoy the first five minutes than gird your loins. It’s like that all the way through."

The Irish TimesThe Irish Times

"A magnificent mess of a masterpiece, as irredeemably silly as it is sincerely sublime."

The Globe and MailThe Globe and Mail

"Exactly what movies can and should be—unflinchingly earnest."

RogerEbert.comRogerEbert.com

"Stylish, sometimes inspired and quite bonkers."

South China Morning PostSouth China Morning Post

"A messy, self-indulgent sprawl of ideas - in the best way possible."

Time MagazineTime Magazine

"Perhaps the kindest thing one can say... is that it will probably remain largely unwatched and be quickly forgotten."

Financial TimesFinancial Times

"A celebration of unfettered creativity and farsightedness."

Little White LiesLittle White Lies

"Very occasionally, you get the kind of soaring Shakespearean feeling that the very best dramas have."

Indian ExpressIndian Express

"It's certainly loopy enough to build a cult following. But (it) will test the patience of everyone else."

BBCBBC

"A film that, at times, feels geared towards skull-numbing boredom, while equally capable of rewriting one’s mind, body and soul."

IGNIGN

"This isn’t the car crash it could have been. It is, though, deeply flawed and very eccentric."

IndependentIndependent

"Bewildering but brazenly one from the heart."

PastePaste

"Each performance seems to come from a different movie."

Total FilmTotal Film

"Bloated and unforgivably dull."

Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment Weekly

"That the director spent 40 years trying to make this worthless, 138-minute hot mess shocks me to no end."

Boston GlobeBoston Globe

"Less a cohesive train of thought than a disastrous cinematic derailment."

Houston ChronicleHouston Chronicle

"Francis Ford Coppola’s grand vision is quite the mess."

The Washington PostThe Washington Post
