Ben Croll TheWrap This ballad finds a groove and rides it out, showcasing the director’s chops and the star’s commitment while shining little new light on the ostensible subject. Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Justin Chang New Yorker Why make a film about Eduard Limonov, the globe-trotting Russian dissident poet and punk provocateur reviled for his pro-fascist sympathies? The filmmaker Kirill Serebrennikov never musters a satisfying answer in this muddled English-language bio-pic. May 30, 2024 Full Review Isaac Feldberg Little White Lies [Whishaw] has never had a role quite as complex and contradictory as that of Limonov... It’s a fascinating, slow-motion car crash of a performance: destined for destruction, spiralling magnificently all the way down. May 24, 2024 Full Review Carlos F. Heredero Caimán Cuadernos de Cine A one-dimensional portrait, in short, that at best betrays itself and, at worst, ends up identifying itself with a puppet, played here in an equally affected manner by the British Ben Whishaw. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Conor Truax In Review Online [The film's] poetry is sullied by its (valiant, or asinine?) attempt to create a detailed lyrical biography of a different kind, one whose collapsing self-seriousness does evince an incidental source of humor—it’s a film that you can’t help but laugh at. May 22, 2024 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com As counterpart or recompense, Serebrennikov delivers a few scenes of enormous intensity with the old axiom of sex, drugs (plus a lot of alcohol), and rock and roll.
