Holy Motors

The film itself is filled with a joie de vivre about the possibilities of acting, with Lavant expressing an emotional repertoire from wild humor to great sadness.

Holy Motors keeps kicking into a different gear, much like an eternally waking dream.

Exhilarating, opaque, heartbreaking and completely bonkers – French auteur Leos Carax's so-called comeback film, Holy Motors, is a deliciously preposterous piece of filmmaking that appraises life and death and everything in between, reflected in a funhouse mirror.

Lavant is splendid in the film, and he's essentially the entire film - and yet, Holy Motors is somewhat more than a contraption built for a fearless performer.

Holy Motors, a movie that's beyond weird, and beyond beautiful.

The film has sprung from the mind of the Frenchman Leos Carax and ought to be seen to be believed, on the largest screen you can find, and probably sober, too, since it becomes its own narcotic.

The sort of enigmatic movie that many critics embrace because it's open to endless interpretation.

The film is an invitation to open your mind, heart & eyes and simply imagine. A collection of scenes stitched together only by a man who must take on any role and has the means to do so. On the surface the ice is cold and hard, but underneath there is so much to discover. A film wise enough to look and the mirror and laugh, but not too loud. A father, an old lady, a dying man, a killer, a lover, a ninja, a musician, a celebration of life and art. Like life itself, Holy Motors takes many unexpected turns. Holy Motors is a unique, surreal ride; aRt on wheels.

Aburridora, peor aún, no logré conectarme con ningún personaje, ya no me sorprendía nada de lo que pasará pór absurdo que fuera y ya no me importaba. Tiene una o dos sescenas rescatables pero poco más.

No, this film has far too many boring stretches to work - especially in the second half of the film. I'm a fan of Cronnenberg, Lynch and other filmmakers who do weird in much more interesting and provocative ways. Sure, there are some disturbing images and fodder for discussion - they're simply not tied together into a meaningful whole which worked for me. I went into the film knowing generally what to expect, and I can let good inaccessible art flow by me, but I checked my watch 2 or 3 too many times for my liking.

This is not your standard movie. I am going even to say it is not a normal one. There seems to be no plot, or clear ideas. The movie will be what you make of it. And this is not a type of film I enjoy. I don't think it is targeted to the people that expect to just watch a movie. This is something else. And you have to be in another state of mind to appreciate. And while I assume that there are people who are going to like it and even think it is great, I am certain I'll never be able to truly understand why. On the plus side, it has some beautiful and slightly outrages shots, which at least deserve 3 out of 10 on their own.

What the.. Did I watch? Boring to say the least. It has a couple of interesting moments but most of it is a mass of incoherent events. Besides it makes you hate the protagonist
