Ben Sachs Chicago Reader 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. Apr 17, 2020 Full Review John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter 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. Jan 10, 2018 Full Review Chuck Bowen Slant Magazine 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. Rated: 3/4 Jan 10, 2018 Full Review Luke Gorham In Review Online [Pendular is undermined by its fundamental inequity. Aug 13, 2020 Full Review Elissa Suh MUBI Visual motifs and avant-garde fixtures pretend to obscure a digestible storyline concerning two artists in relation to their craft, success, and each other. Feb 27, 2020 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com A somewhat tortuous, erratic and capricious film. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 31, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Marissa P 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
