Reality Ratings & Reviews
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
This is what it's like to go insane.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
The bizarro plot threads, and dippy characters fail to connect in any rewarding way, resulting in a largely unfunny film that proves as repetitive and tedious as the 1971 Philip Glass snippet that provides its entire score.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
Reality seems so nonchalant about its somewhat mechanical strangeness that the effect is not so much "WTF?", more "where-exactly-are-you-going-with-this?"
Under the Radar
Austin Trunick
Reality attempts to construct an unending story loop, but winds up more like a snake trying to devour its own tail.
Film Comment Magazine
Violet Lucca
While Dupieux's sensibility isn't for everyone, true believers will recognize this as his best film yet.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Dupieux's movie is all script twists, lacking both the nave wonder of the films to which he pays homage and the inventive sophistication of grand Surrealist fantasy.
The Playlist
Jessica Kiang
Too transitory and too undemanding to be termed a mindfuck, for "Reality" minditch seems about right, and it's one you even occasionally get the pleasure of scratching.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
A hilarious and increasingly disturbing series of looping, overlapping and interconnected narratives worthy of Flann O'Brien or Diderot ...
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
The film will only work for you if you expect it not to make sense, and enjoy jokes that go on and on and then suddenly (and repeatedly) jack-knife off a cliff or two.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
For those who enjoy their brain-bleeders with a significant sense of humor, "Reality" is truly something to experience.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
Each narrative fissure further thwarts meaning. The most you can ask from a movie as nullifying as this one is that it offer wit and visual panache, which it does.
The Dissolve
Scott Tobias
Flashes of wit pop up, but the accumulation of weird incidents and fake-outs doesn't lead anywhere productive.
We Got This Covered
Matt Donato
I can finally say that the guy who made a movie about a murderous tire may have taken cinematic absurdity one step too far.
Metro
Matt Prigge
What 'Reality"'is getting at, once its game plan can be seen, is similar to 'Rubber,' in that it too is a commentary on watching whose structure quietly breaks down how we absorb art.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
A viewer can't help but take it as an artistic statement, even though nothing-not even the nods to Mulholland Dr.-suggests that Dupieux's motivated by anything more than a hankering to make something weird and funny.
Variety
Peter Debruge
[A] mind-numbingly unfunny attempt to apply slippery dream logic to filmmaking.
The Hollywood Reporter
Boyd van Hoeij
None of these semi-absurd tales are particularly funny, though there's some fun to be had in the film's second half trying to keep up with Dupieux's storytelling and editing skills.
IndieWire
Kaleem Aftab
The beauty of Dupieux's latest -- which some viewers may find grating -- is that it's guaranteed to leave audiences scratching their heads over which events are fact or fiction. There are no simple answers.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
Take this Venice Official Selection as nothing, as fun and little more, as satire or expos or as deep-down profound, it is a film hard not to react to, either walk out on or embrace.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Quentin Dupieux has a talent for rendering otherworldly concepts banal in a manner that reflects the stymied desires of his characters.
