Inarticulate characters, long blank stares, forced camera angles and allegorical nonsense make up this pretentious study in quasi-religious ennui. Jan 18, 2013 | Full Review…

Despite its pictorial intensity and the extremity of some of its scenes, the film proceeds in a mood of detachment, turning the suffering physical beings under its scrutiny into abstractions. Jan 17, 2013 | Rating: 2.5/5

As its title suggests, Satan grapples with the existence and nature of evil in the world, but it's hard to take such weighty matters seriously when they're explored with all the subtlety and grace of an anti-abortion pamphlet. Jan 17, 2013 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

The implications linger long after the film is over, and while it occasionally seems to be doing more meandering than exploring, Dumont provides us with much to contemplate, a hallmark of any great film. Aug 6, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Dumont's oblique style will frustrate many (which it certainly did when it premiered at Cannes), but if you embrace the mystery it makes for one of 2013's most fascinating films. Jun 20, 2019 | Full Review…

This leisurely piece of acutely philosophical, existential cinema is reminiscent of the works of Tarkovsky, Bergman and Bresson, with Dumont yet again proving himself to be one of the great contemporary auteurs. Feb 6, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

A tour de force of concentric filmmaking that functions as a searing document on the dichotomy of beauty and savagery at the heart of a bleak French coastal community. Nov 3, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

"Hors Satan" is a film about finding moral bearings in a world where the old rules have gone awry, but it's also an opportunity for some vicarious tourism in seductive scenery. Feb 20, 2018 | Full Review…
