A failed experiment.

"Dragonfly Eyes" disappoints with its unsatisfying combination of an ultra-banal narrative told in a formally original way.

Dragonfly Eyes is quietly disturbing, filled with unease and malaise but also rich in poetry: it's a provocative film for our times which marries conceptual art with cinema in a fresh and unusual way.

Fiction Machine

On a conceptual level alone this is an inventive and fascinating piece of work. As an actual narrative work, it's terribly dull.

Rated: 5/10

As I conclude the review, I have to admit I still do not know what to make of "Dragonfly Eyes," but I think that is where its value lies, as a film that will make its audience think, while it also provides a truly original spectacle.

Despite the narrative abstraction and exposed artifice of the film's construction, Xu's creation feels creepily alive-because it is.
