Critics Consensus

Grimy and psychedelic, Enter the Void ushers audiences through an out-of-body experience with the eye for extremity and technical wizardry that Gaspar Noé fans have come to expect.

Philippa Snow New Statesman As with most of Noé's films, Enter the Void is a bright, bratty middle finger, making it the perfect setting for a natural-born provocatrice such as de la Huerta. Nov 4, 2020 Full Review Matt Cipolla RogerEbert.com It's a form of atheistic spiritualism that Noé treats as sci-fi, like a drug-fueled melodrama as told by 2001's star child. Jul 27, 2020 Full Review Anna Smith metro.co.uk Enter The Void is ridiculous, funny, shocking and crazy - but it's also utterly seductive. Rated: 4/5 Aug 24, 2018 Full Review D.M. Palmer Vague Visages An attack on the senses... Nov 9, 2023 Full Review Wael Khairy The Cinephile Fix ...unlike anything you have ever and most likely will ever see. Jul 5, 2023 Full Review Taylor Baker Drink in the Movies I'm beginning to think the star of most Gaspar's pictures is the lens itself. Rated: 89/100 Aug 19, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

V. F It is a representation (imo) of the "bardo" the state of limbo that a being lives after their death, that's why there's the Tibetan book of the dead in the movie I think. It is seductive but ultimately it feels like something you should watch while on drugs in order to appreciate it fully. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Dekker G Great visuals and interesting concept, but the plot needs more. 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 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 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 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 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
