Dekker G Great visuals and interesting concept, but the plot needs more. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Commercial C Visually awesome. I watched it multiple times. Not for everyboy though. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Prabudhjeet A Looks like Gaspar Noe has created his own genre. This film is purely a cinematographic treat with "first person" POV. Director choregraphed a dance between actors and camera and its just so refreshing to see such achievement in cinematography. Not many directors go into the "forbidden genre" and create something of its own. Lars Von Trier, Park Chan Wook etc are some directors who make completely dark, explicit and daring kind of cinema and Gasper Noe is being one of those directors. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Audience Member It felt unnecessarily drawn out by the second half of the film, but perhaps that is appropriate for a film about life, death, and rebirth. Characters were super effed up, but this is a Gaspar Noe film after all. It is not his best work IMO, but it was still solid work overall. The visual representations of both drug trips as well as death and spirit perception/flight were excellent, but eventually became a bit tedious as the narrative became a bit tiresome. I was ready for it to be over when it finally ended, but I was also glad I had watched/experienced it. Maybe that is how I will feel at the end of my own life… Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review Zane E Absolutely terrible. Surprised this got positive reviews. Sure it takes a trippy experience of taking an acid trip, but the ending was explicitly atrocious. A lot better drug movies out there like "Spun", "Requiem for a Dream", and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review Dave S It's probably fair to say that you shouldn't judge a movie by its opening credits, but that's not the case with Gaspar Noe's Enter the Void. If you can manage to handle the seizure-inducing pyrotechnics that Noe throws at the audience over the first couple of minutes as the credits roll, you should be able to handle the rest of the film. The premise is interesting – after being shot dead by the police in a grimy bathroom stall, the soul of a drug dealer spends the remainder of the movie floating around Tokyo looking back on his tragic childhood and observing those he has left behind, all from the dead man's point of view. It is visually fascinating (and dizzying…and, at times, disgusting) throughout, a technical marvel in every respect. However, the story grows a bit thin over the 160-minute running time and the whole exhausting exercise feels like it runs out of steam about half way through. You can't help but think that this would be something truly special had Noe opted to rein in some of the considerable excesses.
