Ben Sachs Chicago Reader Apr 20, 2017
[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. Go to Full Review

1.5/4
In Metamorphoses, writer-director Christophe Honor tries to domesticate, if not neuter, the strangeness of Ovid's classic tales. Go to Full Review
Jonathan Romney Film Comment Magazine Mar 6, 2015
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. Go to Full Review
Dustin Chang ScreenAnarchy Jul 17, 2020
An absolute blast to experience, Christophe Honoré's film is dreamy poetry, an ode to youth. Go to Full Review
Charlotte Harrison VultureHound Jan 27, 2020
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!" Go to Full Review

Metamorphoses hails the fluidity of our natures, emotions, and other facets of human existence that have been too long repressed by adherence to labels and strict definitions. Go to Full Review

Grant S @grantss Oct 14, 2018 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. See more Mar 21, 2015 Christophe Honoré's modern interpretation of Ovid's . It doesn't make any narrative sense, it's all about stream of consciousness.

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. See more Sep 14, 2014 The guy that plays Zeus ( Jupiter) is the worst! See more Read all reviews
