The film is anchored by some dynamic dance sequences and a couple of quirky scenes with a flame-thrower. But I couldn't quite shake the feeling, though... that the film was afflicted with a slightly pervy sheen. Oct 15, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

A prickly punk remix that takes a traditional art-house character study about a young woman dealing with emotional turmoil and filters it through the stylistic approaches more common to recent art-pop hybrids like "Lemonade." Sep 8, 2019 | Full Review…

We wouldn't want to live in the world Larrain shows us. But his films are so good they convince us that we do. Sep 1, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It's the exuberant yin to the stately yang of 'Jackie', Larrain's last film, and it's full of the pheromones of sexual discovery and the piss and vinegar of toxic relationships. Sep 1, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

A work of self-conscious experimentalism that's too stilted and distancing to invite involvement, it gets some mileage out of the pulsating rhythms of reggaetón street dance but otherwise is so fragmented it lacks forward motion. Aug 31, 2019 | Full Review…

Larrain is incapable of making an entirely uninteresting film, and Ema's sounds and visuals are top-notch. Yet, even so, you need a decent script to back your style up, a crucial ingredient that Ema too often lacks. Oct 15, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Through it all, Larraín plays his cards thrillingly close to his chest, and the audience's only tether to the film is its near-physical power. Oct 15, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Larraín cultivates an explosive and bewildering atmosphere, aided by an intense performance from Di Girolamo in the gleefully perverse lead role, and by creative choreography from Jose Luís Vidal. Oct 11, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
