Justin Chang The New Yorker A repetitive, unattractive, and finally unrewarding slog, in which Ducournau’s filmmaking verve itself seems to harden into lifelessness. Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Alison Willmore New York Magazine/Vulture . Alpha is more evidence of Ducournau’s genius for evocative imagery and striking compositions, but it also suggests she’d benefit from boundaries to push against. May 22, 2025 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com “Alpha” has a few striking visuals, but they’re in service of a movie that runs out of ideas and things to say before it’s even close to half over, forcing viewers to suffer the rest of this misfire in a sort of numb daze. May 22, 2025 Full Review Savina Petkova Hammer to Nail At best, Alpha is as dry as the marble dust left of those who didn’t make it. Jun 4, 2025 Full Review Carlos F. Heredero Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Another pompous and noisy ceremony of narcissistic authorship. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 3, 2025 Full Review Àngel Quintana Caimán Cuadernos de Cine An important film by a filmmaker who constantly seeks new ways to think about and represent the body.
