Rubber

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A clever premise gets plenty of comic blood and violence, but its hampered by some questionable storytelling techniques from director Quentin Dupieux.

Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic Your enjoyment of French filmmaker Quentin's Dupieux's movie depends in large part on your capacity to enjoy the absurd. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Rated: 3.5/5 May 5, 2011 Full Review Amy Amatangelo Boston Herald Holy Luis Bunuel. Not nearly as clever as it thinks it is, "Rubber," a movie about movies from French musician/writer/director Quentin Dupieux, would have worked much better as a short. Rated: D Apr 29, 2011 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com [This] audacious and sometimes inspired throwaway is like a "Saturday Night Live" skit sprung from the mind of David Cronenberg or David Lynch. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 29, 2011 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review If the answer to Hollywood’s lacking creativity is Rubber, then I’d gladly watch a few more formulaic genre movies in its place. Rated: 0/4 Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Emma Wolfe SpookyAstronauts The fact that the movie lacks any storyline at all kind of downfalls the whole thing. Rated: 3/10 May 19, 2021 Full Review Ed Travis Hollywood Jesus Sometimes, life has no reason... and then the movie about a malevolent telekinetic tire gets into full swing. Fun times!

Farah R Although the opening sequence warns viewers that this movie makes no sense, I still found it challenging to comprehend what was displayed despite trying to keep an open mind. It was simply too weird for me. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Cees T 2/10 - Silly artsy trash. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review Richard D A unique film with great setup with its odd theme. They do a great job with getting the audience to believe a tire can become a alive. The films strengths are also its weaknesses. The tire learning about his abilities takes way too long. A stronger relationship with the boy would have been a better idea. Also the ending goes on for too long. Cut maybe 15 minutes out of the film or replace it with something else. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review Audience Member Why rate this movie 5 stars, No reason Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review Liam D Like his entire filmography Quentin Dupieux‘s film combines meta comedy and horror into a bizarre but unique film Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Benjamin B Great movie, great story. I think this is one of the best cult movies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
