Delving into confusion and messing with genre expectations, as well as making some serious points about contemporary morality, this is thought-provoking film. Though not exactly an entirely successful one. Full Review |

 |
Rather than deepening the mystery and sense of intoxication, the picture soon becomes one prolonged and very bad hangover. Full Review |

|
1/5 |
Flatulent, conceited and very, very confusing. Full Review |

|
|
It's fun for a while, but gets steadily more opaque, elliptical and annoying. Full Review |
||
|
|
It's gripping and provocative, making effective use of actor Charles Berling and the music of Sonic Youth. Full Review |

A potent film. Full Review |

|
3/5 |
Over and over, people hold solemn, antagonistic meetings over who'll get the rights to make computer-generated sleaze. Full Review |

|
2/5 |
Our wait for a decent corporate espionage / interactive virtual porn film continues. Full Review |

A silly, oddly disagreeable movie. Full Review |

|
2/5 |
Yes, the subject is entertainment in the 21st century. A shame that it's not more entertaining. Full Review |

|
2/5 |
There are those who see something brilliant and profound here. All I can see, however, is the confused work of a director who for some reason completely abandoned style and substance. Full Review |

1.5/4 |
...exhausting and mind-numbing. Full Review |

It ends up feeling like we arrived through a bad dream in Neverland. Full Review |

|
9/10 |
A bleak cyber-thriller that bids you to see through the glossy images on the screen's surface. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
Exhilaratingly original. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/5 |
This global thriller seriously plays with your head ... refusing to resolve itself into something clear-cut. But the approach is assured and intelligent. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
Though film buffs will like the many references, the story takes a back seat to the visuals, and images, no matter how sensational, can only carry a film so far. Full Review |

While Assayas is masterful at creating an eerie mood and has a far-sighted grasp of future shock, he seems to have left orbit while trying to tie up Demonlover's loose ends Full Review |
||
|
3.5/5 |
By far one of the most interesting and thoughtful pieces of cinema to savage American cinema screens in ages, and certainly the only incoming French mind-warper with a soundtrack by Sonic Youth. Full Review |

2.5/5 |
Demonlover is the kind of film that wants to make you feel stupid for not liking it. Full Review |
