Murat's inventive visual compositions keep this watchable, as do the explicit sex scenes, which build upon the characterization in addition to generating erotic fascination.

Where Damien Chazelle observed lovers filled with a desire to make it in entertainment, [Julia] Murat's picture revolves around the need to make art, with career an afterthought.

Jlia Murat's Pendular abounds in exquisite displays of negative space, reminding one that there's few artistic elements as inherently appealing, visually, as a symmetrical image.

[Pendular is undermined by its fundamental inequity.

Visual motifs and avant-garde fixtures pretend to obscure a digestible storyline concerning two artists in relation to their craft, success, and each other.

A somewhat tortuous, erratic and capricious film. [Full Review in Spanish]

This movie can be described as this:1 hour and 40 minute movie of a couple that is questionable if they should be even be together but nothing happens the end. The sex scenes are random, short, and very tame so describing it as an erotica is misleading.

Pendular is a film which showcases what's it like to be an artist and is a piece of art itself, at the same time.
