Jupiter absconds with Europa and encounters humans who have been changed into animals.

Ben Sachs

Chicago Reader

[Honre'] does succeed, though, in conveying the joy of storytelling, which has made Ovid's work endure; the engagingly knotty structure is full of playful digressions and tales within tales.

Slant Magazine

In Metamorphoses, writer-director Christophe Honor tries to domesticate, if not neuter, the strangeness of Ovid's classic tales.

Rated: 1.5/4

Film Comment Magazine

Honor's film aspires to be inclusive, even encyclopedic-through myth, to speak about the whole of the human condition today as Ovid spoke about it in his time.

Floating World

Playful, dirty, edgy and wondrous in its micro-economic way, Metamorphoses works as it is intended to- a beautiful, dreamy poetry in accordance with the spirit of French New Wave.

An absolute blast to experience, Christophe Honoré's film is dreamy poetry, an ode to youth.

Every single scene features nudity or outdoor sex act... It becomes rather redundant and detrimental to the storytelling. Part way through I even had the very British thought of, "All right love, put it away!"

Dull, pretentious nonsense. At this point in my reviews I usually provide an objective summary of the initial plot, before launching into my view of the movie. That is impossible with this movie as there is no discernible plot. Apparently the movie is about gods walking on earth and frolicking / toying with humans. That much is consistent with what I saw, but that provides the background to the plot, at best. Beyond that, there's nothing. Quite random and nonsensical. One scene doesn't seem to follow from another. If each scene is a mini-story, they're pretty boring, pointless, inconclusive stories. Which would sum up the entire movie - boring, pointless and inconclusive.

The re-telling of various stories from Greek mythology set in modern day southern France. A bunch of gratuitous nudity for titillation, yet other than that pretty boring. Give it a pass.

Christophe Honoré's modern interpretation of Ovid's . It doesn't make any narrative sense, it's all about stream of consciousness.

Adapter les Métamorphoses au cinéma était un défi de taille, très intéressant, mais à mon sens ce film rate malheureusement son coup. Rarement j'ai vu un film aussi désincarné malgré la quantité de peau qu'il expose. On reste dans l'illustration, les images sont magnifiques en termes plastiques, mais seulement en termes plastiques. Le pouvoir de fascination de ces récits est ailleurs, on le loupe. C'est dommage.
