Two actresses, Béatrice Dalle and Charlotte Gainsbourg, are on a film set telling stories about witches - but that's not all. 'Lux Æterna' is also an essay on cinema, the love of film, and on-set hysterics.

Lux Æterna Ratings & Reviews
indieWire
Eric Kohn
The closing moments of "Lux Æterna" are such a disturbing outburst of light, color, and 3-D illusions they might make even stereoscopic auteur Ken Jacobs avert his eyes. Ironically, however, this very act of destabilization gives Noé an ideal vessel...
AwardsWatch
Valerie Complex
You have to laugh at the absurdity of it all.
Slant Magazine
William Repass
If the film-within-the-film is a vapid fetishization of womens martyrdom, Lux Æterna is a willful exercise in repulsing its own audience.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
A vigorously realized doodle.
Next Best Picture
Dan Bayer
The film may not quite hold together if you think about it too hard, but in the moment, it is an incredibly powerful thing to witness.
Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
George Elkind
Addressing various forms of voyeurism, exploitation, and rampant, stratified forms of inequality, in part by suggesting they may well be eternal, the film's ensuing flight into abstraction could well be construed as a kind of aesthetic cowardice.
TheWrap
Steve Pond
You have to hand it to Noe, because it is kind of mesmerizing in its perverse single-mindedness, and the fact that "Lux Aeterna" is only 50 minutes long makes it more endurable.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
Not bad for what was supposed to be a 15-minute fashion commercial.
Polygon
Oli Welsh
It might leave audiences feeling brutalized, exhilarated, amused, annoyed, or all of the above, but will it leave them feeling like they want to drop a thousand dollars on a handbag?
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Tim Cogshell
It works in some ways -- there's a sensory attack to this film.
Variety
Peter Debruge
Let's be clear: "Lux Æterna" is a glorified Saint Laurent commercial.
The Newnan Times-Herald
Jonathan W. Hickman
…his refusal to provide us with a tangible narrative rudder leaves viewers befuddled.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
Not really a genre film, and I'm also not sure I'd call it a "madcap comedy" persé -- I actually don't even think I can fully recommend it.
Boulder Weekly
Michael J. Casey
Feels a little bit like a thesis wrapped around a confession.
The Hollywood Reporter
Leslie Felperin
With all this visual and aural opulence to ogle, the story feels almost secondary, but there is one there, crafted perhaps with more deliberation than the staged shambles might suggest.
AV Club
Jeremy Smith
Knowing how dazzling Noé can be when he's fully engaged on a full-length movie could've left Lux Æterna feeling like a bit of a letdown, but it's a freaking Yves Saint Laurent advert!
Willamette Week
Chance Solem-Pfeifer
Far too many movies feel like commercials, but it's exceedingly rare to find a film birthed as an ad that wrestles loose into artistic oblivion. God knows what Saint Laurent thought it was getting when commissioning a film from... Gaspar Noé.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Lux Æterna" feels like half an idea, and in turn, only half a movie.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
"Lux Aeterna," to its credit, is a pretty terrible commercial and an undeniably fascinating experiment.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Though only 51 minutes, the film is still way too long. It could have covered everything it wanted in 2 or 3 minutes, the length of a TV commercial.
