A sentient tire rolls through the desert, using the power of its mind to make small animals -- and human heads -- explode.

Critics Consensus

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

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

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

[This] audacious and sometimes inspired throwaway is like a "Saturday Night Live" skit sprung from the mind of David Cronenberg or David Lynch.

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.

The fact that the movie lacks any storyline at all kind of downfalls the whole thing.

Rated: 3/10

Sometimes, life has no reason... and then the movie about a malevolent telekinetic tire gets into full swing. Fun times!

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.

Like his entire filmography Quentin Dupieux‘s film combines meta comedy and horror into a bizarre but unique film
