Climax Ratings & Reviews

It's like having a bad acid trip while watching a bad acid trip

Outstanding and spellbinding cinematography.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Regardless the various attempts at shock value (with scenes involving self-mutilation and abortion) seem downright desperate.
TheWrap
Ben Croll
Just like Possession, this tale of stylized hysteria is an absolute scream.
Film Comment Magazine
Michael Koresky
In the latest goofy provocation from a director who never saw a space-dank dungeon or sunny bedroom-upon which he couldn't unleash a swirly-twirly camera, Noé puts a pansexual, multicultural dance troupe through its paces before sending them to hell.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
In "Enter the Void," he used this effect to mirror the experience of a hallucination. But here, it seems the bad boy is running out of tricks, and he's hammering your skull just to prove he can keep doing it.
Arizona Republic
Scott Craven
You just have to figure out if it's a ride you want to take.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Alas, with the notable exception of the empathetic Boutella, the cast of Climax consists primarily of dancers who are not actors.
Polygon
Karen Han
It's the filmic equivalent of hot sauce that's spicy but doesn't have any flavor.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Surprisingly, hell turns out to be not very interesting when seen close up, and "Climax" is a bad trip that crashes before its characters do.
Washington Post
Hau Chu
Noé has made what might be his most accessible and, yes, tender film to date, teasing the idea of heavenly bliss - before heading straight to hell.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
This numbingly dull drama, directed by Gaspar Noé, decorates its petty moralism with flashy displays of violence.
Riot Material
Kristy Puchko
Climax feels as emotionally hollow as a middle-schooler spouting curse words for shock value, and just as juvenile.
Vanity Fair
K. Austin Collins
I've fallen down too many breakdancing-video K-holes on Vine and YouTube, with their hyperactive visual style and knack for intricate displays of personality, to buy anything being sold to me here.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
These characters will keep dancing until and perhaps even beyond the bitter end, but their altered state never threatens to become your own.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
[Noe's] grandiose and more than a little bit mad. If you think too hard about what Climax means, the film deflates.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
The drawback, as Noé veterans will anticipate, is that his style trumps - no, obliterates - the scenario. Climax becomes steadily less thrilling as it approaches its, you know ... peak.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
It's Busby Berkeley by way of Hieronymus Bosch. It's a dance party set in an upper-circle tier of hell. It's a great approximation of a very bad trip.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
It's just testing the audience's patience.
USA Today
Brian Truitt
"Climax" strives (and mostly succeeds) to be the nuttiest, trippiest dance party you'll ever attend.
