The Congress Ratings & Reviews
Joao
November 2, 2025
bad and boring
Slant Magazine
Samuel B. Prime
The Congress is part live action and part Ralph Bakshi fever dream, but all nightmare. It paints a vision of the future where individuality and anything resembling free will is supplanted by delicious chemical cocktails and a candy-coated reversal.
The New Yorker
David Denby
The anger drains out of the picture, and we watch in a state of passive appreciation and indifference.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
An acquired taste, this dense Jabberwocky-ish word salad is a political allegory about a populace that's been pharmaceutically duped into believing its wretched world is wonderful.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
A half-live-action, half-animated headtrip that throws Robin Wright into a dizzying showbiz paradigm shift.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
A dystopian blend of live-action and animation that acidly comments on some of Hollywood's touchiest issues before drifting off into an existential fog.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
It's almost painful to watch the immense promise of "The Congress," Ari Folman's spectacularly ambitious experiment, dissipate into nothing.
RogerEbert.com
Scout Tafoya
"The Congress" is a roll call of the orgiastic pleasures and bountiful comforts that art provides, and, a reminder of what waits for us when we leave the theater.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Ambitiously trippy and compulsively watchable ...
Seattle Times
John Hartl
"The Congress" becomes as frustrating and expensive-looking as "Cloud Atlas." Try to follow it and you may feel abandoned in a maze.
NPR
Tomas Hachard
While always detailed in its visual execution, each new aspect of the film's world remains conceptually hollow, growing ultimately into a Matrix-style allegory for the nature of truth ...
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
It spirals into logy animated nonsense.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Long on vision but short on coherence, this live-action/animation dyad boasts a stranger kind of duality: As it unspooled, I felt I'd never seen anything quite like it before... and already I was fantasizing about a tighter, less self-serious remake.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
Busting with ideas, from ageism in Hollywood to the soullessness of digital life.
L.A. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Like its actress, it's an ambitious knockout that doesn't quite live up to its potential
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
It's a folly of the first order, but one that many people will nonetheless want to see, if only because it's so out there.
The Hollywood Reporter
Todd McCarthy
Jettisoning a connection to anything concrete, Folman, who started his career in documentaries, loses his narrative moorings.
Variety
Peter Debruge
Beyond the recurring symbol of her son's red kite, there's little to connect Wright to this hallucinogenic animated space where disgruntled citizens are free to pass as the persona of their choice.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
As executed by writer-director Ari Folman, the concept is tidy, superficially clever, and almost defiantly irrelevant.
CinemaBlend
Kristy Puchko
A film so rich in texture, depth of emotion, and subtext that it feels a bit wrong to review it after only a single viewing.
