Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com It’s not a sophisticated bit, but Dupieux’s commitment to illogical anti-humor remains pretty disarming. Rated: 3/4 Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Ben Kaye Chicago Reader If Daaaaaalí! reads more as an artistic experiment than a fully realized feature, perhaps Dupieux was aiming for that all along, a daring work that upends expectations at every turn. One hopes it’s what Dalí would’ve wanted too. Oct 3, 2024 Full Review William Repass Slant Magazine Quentin Dupieux melts the frames that separate dream, film, and reality until they become one plate of tangled spaghetti. Rated: 3/4 Sep 30, 2024 Full Review Michael Talbot-Haynes Film Threat Daaaaaali! is exactly what you are hoping for, but it will only hover a few feet off the ground instead of meeting you on the moon. Rated: 7/10 Dec 17, 2024 Full Review Filipe Freitas Always Good Movies Daaaaaali! is as fake and annoying as its title. The cast is great, the film is not. Rated: 2/5 Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Javier Ocaña El Pais (Spain) As in some of Buñuel's great surrealist films, Dupieux's work is based on the vignette, iconic moment, the crazy artifact not exempt from criticism, and happy bewilderment.

Mira M A surrealist use of time, that dragged on just a bit at the end Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review xldw 6 A wonderful film that can be played in a loop continuously presents an endless chain of desires in a fancy nested structure, making people sink into an eternal long dream. Just like waking up leisurely after desires are unfulfilled and continuing to enter another psychedelic journey, and the ending that can be modified and returned layer by layer according to one's will. The dream structure and surreal style are both reinterpreting Dali's unruly and narcissistic nature with Dali's crazy brushstrokes. Making extensive use of the upturned mustache (so that viewers can quickly recognize different actors as Dali), presenting telephones on plates, disordered time, branch canes and skeleton donkeys all make people smile knowingly. There are also Dali's paintings made into real scenes. This film also has quite the charm of Buñuel's movies. The repeatedly blocked desires/processes (unfinished interviews, endless dreams, corridors that can't reach the end) seem like variations of "The Exterminating Angel" and "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie". The multiple people playing one role (six Dali actors) is just like an upgraded version of "That Obscure Object of Desire". A meta-movie about dreaming/making dreams vs. interviewing/seeking the truth (performance fiction vs. realistic recording). The television screen becomes the main transition medium, with reverse motion, reversed interviews, and watching one's own movie. I usually use these two sites for more free movies and short dramas.If you have a better website, please recommend it to me. Thank you https://omnishort.com/?utm_source=rottentomatoes https://nightgod.tv/?utm_source=rottentomatoes Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Peter M Amazing. Two people walked out of the showing I went to. Everyone else stayed until the credits had ended, worried they might miss another meta moment. The movie is short and unconventional, but it works. The pace is break-neck and the writing truly inventive despite ostensibly being yet another mockumentary. It also deftly captures the essence of Dalí’s surrealism without feeling didactic. Bravo. The real Dalí would have loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review kana d 3 eme pire film vu de ma vie, j'avais juste l'impression de perdre des heures de ma vie j'ai vraiment fortement hésité à partir de la salle de cinéma car c'était vraiment horrible, je suis resté juste parce que il y avait des amis , mais j'ai vu 2 3 personnes quitter la salle. Il faut vraiment aimer les films qui n'ont aucun sens, aucun but, et perso c'est pas mon cas, j'aime encore les films où on comprend rien et à la fin on comprend enfin qu'il y avait un truc et ici c'est pas du tout le cas. Le film est méga lourd, on sait pas ce qui va se passer certes, mais il est méga répétitif et c'est un supplice, cette petite musique qu'on entend tout le long du film est répétitif et horrible, ils auraient pu avoir un minimum de + de 1 musiques durant tout le film. En gros j'avais l'impression qu'il durait 3 h au lieu 1 h L'accent espagnol et le jeu d'acteur de Jonathan Cohen est insupportable, cela me donne un gros hic, les costumes sont très questionables, nous sortant souvent du film. Le personnage de Dali n'avait aucune profondeur, de pourquoi il aurait été du coup de cette manière, il est dépeint comme une horrible personne, ça aurait été bien d'expliquer pourquoi et ce qui l'a construit pour être comme ça. La plus part des acteurs ne jouent pas bien. Ne vous attendez pas à une biographie, le film se fou de votre gueule tout le long et de vos 8 euros de place de cinéma et si vous n'aimez pas les films abstrait n'allez pas le voir, si par contre c'est votre tasse de thé, allez y. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Vincent This movie has a lot in common with Dalí's paintings: a couple of good ideas, many cheap tricks, tedious repetitiveness, very little meaning or substance.
