B+

"Personal Shopper" creates a fully realized universe that merges visceral dread with deeper observations about its causes.

Elastic to the point of fuzzy, like the best art-horror films Personal Shopper both provokes and simultaneously mocks our need for answers.

4/5

[Stewart] offers a refined version of her Twilight saga performance, which oscillates between discreet twitchiness and vocal outbursts, as if emotions had to fight against in order to be felt.

2.5/5

When the film thinks it gets tense and mysterious, it actually gets silly, and when it thinks it gets scary, it just gets more ridiculous.

4/5

Assayas has crafted a film that almost defies genre, but is grounded by an understated, poignant performance from Kristen Stewart.

Disjointed and poorly played out story lines. Just awful….

This movie was awkward. Not avant garde, not moody, not mysterious, not thought provoking, not scary... just awkward. Imagine Kristen Stewart, as you know her - fidgety and quiet and probably pretty shallow although trying to project deep thought - in movie format. Jumping through three short stories and trying to tie a string between them unsuccessfully. That's Personal Shopper. The acting feels totally predictable, with random moments of improv, oddly. The story doesn't feel anything, at any point. I don't feel anything about her relationship with her brother. I don't care that she's been attacked by random ghosts at the beginning because then she has a very awkward conversation with her dead brother's ex, and the ghosts don't come up again. I don't believe for a second that this nervous/odd girl is shopping at Cartier for her high profile clients. Etcetera. I get why KS would want to make this film, but I don't understand why anyone would want to watch it.

I am not a fan of Kristen Stewart. Putting that aside, though, the movie is decent, but also very forgettable…

It's a very avant garde film. It demands to be watched fully and not just playing in the background, half paying attention. It does have a slow pace for the first half. It gets a bit scattered in execution some as well. I tend to watch independent films regularly, so none of this was too surprising to me. I think it is worth a watch if you like cerebral, independent films.

Confused plot as a slow pace with a meh ending. Did not get it. I see some people really enjoyed it, so I was bringing a different set of metrics to this film.

I may have to rewatch it, but I saw it a few years ago, and maybe I didn't understand the plot at the time. I had felt like it currently takes the title of the worst movie that I have ever watched so far. I wasted 1hr and 45 minutes of my life.
