Mandibles Ratings & Reviews
indieWire
Nicholas Barber
What makes "Mandibules" so refreshing is that, just as its anti-heroes don't care about how they are supposed to behave, Dupieux has an airy disregard for how a chase thriller or a horror movie is supposed to proceed.
The Playlist
Jessica Kiang
The really new news of "Mandibles" however, is, where in the past Dupieux's surrealism always had a cynical, sinister, even murderous undercurrent, here, he lets himself be cheerful.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
The results can be frustratingly slight and maddeningly amorphous, but it's bracing to have absolutely no clue where a movie is headed.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
None of this, of course, should work. But give Dupieux credit for commitment.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
"Mandibles" is short, odd and original, a weird comedy for people who like weird funny things, and it further establishes Dupieux as an ingenious and unique artist.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
What works so well in Mandibles is how it's set up as a basic heist movie, using very familiar elements, so familiar they're almost tired cliches, before going completely off the rails into random demented territory.
The Spool
Jonah Koslofsky
In other words, Dupieux's commitment to being silly is admirable, but the resistance to making his silly meaningful is exhausting.
Paste Magazine
Natalia Keogan
Quentin Dupieux's absurdist comedy leanings are on full display, rendering Mandibles his most surprisingly exuberant film to date.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
The idle one-thing-after-another-ness of Mandibles is evocative, disturbing, and moving.
TheWrap
Dave White
Every frame encourages letting one's guard down, just so the story can roll into a ball of sloppy chaos and make an appropriately goofy mess.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
Maybe this picture is just a string of wacky ideas, with no deeper meaning. But for those who take the ride, it's an hour and 17 minutes they're unlikely to forget.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
With what we have all been through for the past 18 months it is a good thing to have entertaining absurdity in hand, and we certainly get that.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
In the otherwise stale world of French comedies, Dupieux stands so far out in left field that he's become a genre unto himself.
We Live Entertainment
Aaron Neuwirth
This may be Dupieux's sweetest film yet.
Variety
Guy Lodge
"Mandibles" is as brazenly and riotously stupid as it sounds, but with a chill, dopey sweetness that makes it stick.
New York Times
Beatrice Loayza
"Mandibles" is sweet, simple, and oh-so-very stupid - a stupidity that's oddly liberating, like making up ridiculous scenarios with a pal over bong hits.
Killer Movie Reviews
Andrea Chase
Cinematic rules are not so much broken as ignored, but there Is the intention of a master plan, making each development as shocking as it is original.
Cinemacy
Morgan Rojas
A buzzy buddy comedy that could only come from the zany mind of Quentin Dupieux .
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
I certainly wouldn't recommend any of Dupieux's movies to just anyone... but it's also not a movie I'd recommend you rush out to see in theaters.
Battleship Pretension
David Bax
Even at under 80 minutes, it's too much movie to be supported by nothing but hot air.
