Marina thinks the human species is strange and repellent until a stranger enters her life.

Critics Consensus

At once playfully eccentric and poignantly bittersweet, Attenberg adds a refreshing sideways spin to the arthouse coming-of-age drama.

The film never feels male gaze-y, and it's refreshing to watch sex and nudity that's awkward (like life off-screen) and even a bit silly.

For all the eccentricity, the film feels unexpectedly personal in addressing experiences everyone goes through at some point in their lives.

3/4

Tsangari's art-house minimalism, which never lets us forget we're watching a movie, still permits a surprising degree of tender emotion.

"Attenberg" is a nice, gentle and at times pretty funny drama. Don't expect to be bowled over but there is a good chance you'll be impressed.

Attenberg doesn't have a sense of true purpose and cohesion.

9/10

An incisive study of a marvelously unusual protagonist.

It walks a really thin line between eccentricity and full nonsense, but one can't deny it's daring originality and the charms of Marina as a virgin and (possibly) assexual 23-year old.

An odd but real take on self discovery. Maybe we're all the odd ones, not living these childlike fantasy?

Spite of the wirdness plaguin the director's style, this story opens an unseen window to coming-on-age stories, and the result is a hillarious, smart, eccentric, well acted and deeply touching film that, using its original source material as fuel, becomes personal and near for the viewer.

I can understand the director's point but still I was not impressed. Especially not with the problematic situations that hide behind a plot hole (I know the film is surrealist but so what?).
