Jonathan Romney Screen International Julian Schnabel could never be accused of lacking sheer enthusiasm and wild-eyed flamboyance. Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Caryn James The Hollywood Reporter Even when it goes off the rails, In the Hand of Dante is never dull. And there is always something glorious to look at. Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety A folly that pulsates with life. Even when it doesn’t add up, it’s the kind of high-flying ride it’s hard to shake off. Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Roger Friedman Showbiz 411 This is the kind of movie we used to see from the great auteurs of the 70s like Scorsese, who is also executive producer of this film. “In the Hand of Dante” is the kind of exciting work we see infrequently now and need so much for cinema to survive. Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Andrew Dignan In Review Online In the Hand of Dante is almost cruelly designed in a way that seems destined to please no one. Interested in a meditative period drama? What about a sleazy airport novel? Well, here’s a film that does both, but neither especially well! Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Yasmine Kandil Discussing Film Julian Schnabel’s In the Hand of Dante is a severe misfire and complete chore to sit through, even finding a way to make a huge waste of star Oscar Isaac. Rated: 1/5 Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
