IndieWire

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

The Blue Lenses

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

Little White Lies

[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.

Rated: 4/5

Spotlight on Film

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.

Rated: 2.5/5

Horror Queers Podcast

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

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.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

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.

Next time, choose one plotline and stick to that. Now it's just a mess of half baked ideas that don't deliver in the end. Steward is good in her own typical way.

I did not think this movie had no merit to it. It was to boring and confusing. The 10 minute of KS and her phone messages with a stalker and I knew it was the GQ guy from her celebrity boss apartment. I mean who else could it be, her dead brother? It was kind of interesting when she met the unknown spirit of the woman in her dead brothers house. Whoever she was to weird and did not go into whom she was and how she got there in the house. I mean that spirit could of been there for over 200 years. Then her dead brother coming to the house of his old GF and she has a new guy in her life and KS can not feel him watching her? The ending was to confusing and who was that..Lewis? Meaning her harm? Did not make any sense.
